WILDCARE TREE STUDY KIT

BISHOP PINE

• Bishop pines have 2 needles in a bundle
• They are closed cone pines, which means the cones open when a fire sweeps through. Because of this trees in a given forest are usually the same age and size.
• You can see how bishop pines regenerated at Point Reyes in the area of the Inverness fire.
• See a mature bishop pine forest at Tomales Bay State Park.
