    Hemlock Trees in Canada

    Hemlock (Tsuga) is a genus of evergreen trees in the Pinaceae family native to North America and central and eastern Asia. At least 10 species of hemlock exist in the world, with only three growing in Canada: the eastern hemlock, western hemlock and mountain hemlock. These trees are often referred to as foundation species, meaning they play a vital role in creating and maintaining the ecosystem in which they reside. For hemlocks, their roles as a food source and habitat for wildlife, as well as their temperature-regulating qualities, make them incredibly valuable.
