Park & Grab 4 - TLAB Traditional Cache

The forests of Newfoundland and Labrador form the most eastern part of the Boreal Forest Region of North America. The forests are relatively small, primarily coniferous trees intermixed with hardwoods. The variety of species is quite limited. Due to cool, moist climates, nutrient cycling is slow and poorly drained soils have developed. Repeated fires have established Black Spruce as a characteristic species across much of central Newfoundland. Elsewhere, the forests are dominated by the presence of Balsam Fir.
