There are as many as 40 different forest types in New Brunswick.  Some of the more typical ones include: Mixed wood forests: red spruce, yellow birch, sugar maple,                                   beech, white pine, eastern hemlock Upland hardwood forests: sugar maple, yellow birch, beech, red maple Lowland hardwood forests: basswood, butternut, ironwood, ash, silver maple Cedar forests Spruce-balsam fir forests Pine forests Black spruce forests Balsam fir-tamarack forests   Each of these has a characteristic mix of plants, animals, lichens and   fungi. The mixed wood, hardwood and cedar forests are declining across the   landscape in the face of high impact forestry practices.
