Did You Know?

Pinecones are nature’s barometer for wildfires and severe winters.

Closed scales mean damp conditions while open scales mean the forest floor is dry.

In autumn, pine trees produce more of the larger cones before a severe winter to ensure seeds will make it through squirrel and bird feeding frenzies.
