Pacific Silver Fir (3140)

Pacific Silver Firs are tall trees with single needles scattered and crowded above the top of a twig; needles are shorter, up to 1” long and slightly notched at the tip. Cones are also upright, but the wood is softer than other firs and was only used for pulp. Areas of these trees that are now logged, are replanted with Douglas Fir. Young specimens are found by Kiosk 3.  Pacific Silver Fir, also called Amabilis Fir, is most likely found in areas that appear as understory or forest. Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; abundant, native to Cascadia.
