About This Quote

A hardwood forest is a forest full of trees that have grown together over time. Hardwoods are often the first types of trees to grow in newly created areas of land. Hardwoods include oaks, hickories, maples, walnuts, beeches, birches, birches, pines and many others. Hardwood trees are some of the most beautiful trees you will ever see, with some species being very large and majestic.

Hardwood forests are some of the most stable forests around because they are full of old trees. The oldest trees in a hardwood forest are thousands of years old!
