Coniferous
Coniferous forests made up of trees that produce cones and needles, otherwise known as evergreen trees. These types of forests are found in areas that have periodic cold or dry periods and contain trees such as pines, spruces, and firs. Coniferous forests are home to mostly herbivores, including insects and deer, as well as the animals that prey on them.
Deciduous
Deciduous forests make up a large part of New England. These trees lose their leaves each year, and the distinctive color change in the leaves in the fall characterizes this type of forest in the area. Several common trees present in deciduous forests are the red maple, red oak, dogwood, and crabapple trees, while common mammals include white-tailed deer, squirrels, chipmunks, skunks, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, bats, moles, rabbits, mice and voles.
