Local Environmental Conditions
The area around Whispering Pines Campground is heavily wooded. Around here, the surrounding woods make trees an important source. Gaps in the canopy, trails and forest edges give grasses and herbs room to grow. Much of the pollen in dense woodland is released high in the canopy, where the wind carries it easily.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in mid-spring. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Rain is heaviest in summer, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.
