TREE SPECIES LISTS BY COUNTY
There are 15 counties
in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Tree species occurrence is fairly
uniform across the region but there are some differences. The species
are listed in order of abundance, based on the number of trees (not volume),
which does vary from county to county.
These lists are derived from U.S. Forest Service data. However,
other tree species may be found in addition to those appearing on the lists.
This is particularly true in towns and near rural homes. These lists are
meant to include trees found in forested situations, not as ornamentals
or other special plantings. If you believe you have identified a forest
tree species that is not listed, let me know! It is certainly possible!
We can add it to the list.
Scroll down to find a table for each of the 15 counties in the U.P.. Data for the entire U.P. is the last table.
Note: "Forest" is defined as "Total Forest" according the U.S. Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis Unit, which includes all categories of forest by area.
