fir forest

Evergreen tree expanse

A fir forest is a woodland dominated by fir trees—evergreen conifers with soft, flat needles and upright cones.

These forests typically grow in cool, mountainous regions and northern latitudes, forming dense stands with distinctive spire-shaped silhouettes: We hiked through the fir forest as snow began to fall.
