It's Great to be Different

Even in nature, being different still means you can exist with others and contribute to a healthy environment. For example, this coniferous forest contains evergreen trees that bear cones. Elegant pines grow in this biome, along with spruce, fir, and tamarack. In much of the northern forest, the conifers also mingle with deciduous trees, which in this case is the basswood (the copper tree). It's a reminder that people who are 'different' still belong in our society, just like unique trees share space in nature.
