Collection: Yukon's Native Plants and Animals

Yukon’s wilderness is defined by towering mountains, glacier-fed rivers, and sweeping tundra. Boreal forests of spruce and birch dominate lower elevations, while alpine meadows burst with wildflowers in summer. Grizzly bears, Dall sheep, and wolves roam freely, and salmon run upriver each year to spawn. The brief but intense growing season sustains a remarkable diversity of plants and animals.
