I've always loved these types of illustrations. I had no idea this was our state tree! I swear they used to be all over the place, but I see less and less of them every year.

They thrive in young forest after wildfires or clearcutting. That's why you don't see them as much, less habitat.

Eventually the forest matures into pine, oak, etc. and the birches diminish.
