The dense rainforests of the Oregon Coast Range, Washington's Olympic Peninsula, and British Columbia's Vancouver Island are an ideal habitat for western red cedar. The abundance of this conifer, along with its resistance to decay, softness, and ability to bend and fold, have made it one of the most important raw materials for Northwest Coast native art.
