Yukon Native Plants

Yukon’s flora thrives in boreal forest, alpine tundra, and river valleys. White spruce, paper birch, and lodgepole pine dominate lowlands, while alpine meadows support lupine, mountain avens, and gentian. Short summers bring a riot of fireweed, Arctic poppy, and bluebell across hillsides. Willows and berry shrubs like crowberry and blueberry provide crucial food for wildlife.
