Region - The Northwest Atlantic region includes the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec, except for tundra areas and all of the Maritimes as well as the northeastern United States which includes New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
The eastern end of the boreal forest of coniferous trees extends across the Canadian provinces to Newfoundland. At the international border hardwood forests take over. Much of the Northeast Atlantic region is comprised of Residential and Urban habitats and some of the largest cities in North America are found here. Still, there are a variety of upland and bottomland deciduous forests and woodlands, thickets, sandy barrens of pine and oak trees, saltwater bays and marshes estuaries, lakes, swamps, and barrier beaches.
