Additional Details 

The Eastern White Pine has been officially recognized as Ontario’s arboreal emblem since 1984. This recognition is well-earned, as White Pine Lumber played an important role in shaping the province's history. The White Pine forests that once covered the land provided the timber that fueled the early logging industry that literally built Ontario! 

One of White Pine's most notable characteristics is its light weight, making it one of the easiest softwoods to work with and transport. Historically, this lightweight nature made it a natural choice for boatbuilding. The Eastern White Pine’s tall, straight trunks were perfect for crafting sturdy masts and spars. 

White Pine is also an environmentally sustainable lumber choice. The Eastern White Pine is a fast-growing and renewable tree with deep roots that help to anchor the soil, preventing erosion, while its thick canopy offers shelter and food for a variety of wildlife.  

Common Uses 

• Crates: Eastern White Pine's light weight and ease of working make it a go-to for building crates and shipping containers. It's strong enough to protect contents, yet light enough to keep shipping costs down.
