PLANT COMPASS - When visiting the backcountry it’s always recommended that you carry a compass to help you navigate. If you’ve forgotten yours, and if you’re in mountain country, you’ll find that Mother Nature has provided a crude navigational tool for you. Deciduous trees like; Gamble Oak and Mountain Mahogany prefer the hotter and drier Southern-facing slopes, while conifers such as pines and spruce are happier on the Northern-facing slopes where they’ll find cooler and wetter conditions.
