3 February 2017
Northern White Cedar
Thuja occidentalis L.

This evergreen conifer has small, flat scales for leaves and a distinctive bark with vertical stripes. Its cones are about a half inch long and occur in large numbers. The wood is soft, light, weather-resistant, and has a pleasing odor. It is a major source of food for white-tailed deer in the winter and you can often see browse sign on lower branches. The photo to the left shows marks along the trunk of a northern white cedar's bark which was probably made by deer hooves while the deer tried to reach food on higher branches. Deer tracks were in the snow beneath the tree.
