evergreen forests
Year-round green woods
Evergreen forests are wooded areas dominated by trees that retain their foliage year-round rather than shedding leaves seasonally.
These include coniferous forests of pines, spruces, and firs in northern and mountainous regions, as well as tropical rainforests near the equator.
The term distinguishes such forests from deciduous ones, where trees lose their leaves in autumn.
The Pacific Northwest is famous for its evergreen forests of towering Douglas firs.
