Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremuloides) commonly known in the Northwoods as "Popple", is the most common tree found here. Harvested by loggers, it is primarily used in the production of paper. While walking in the forest, one can often hear the rustling sound of the leaves as they tremble, or "quake" in the wind. The aspen produces abundant forage for many woodland creatures. The aspen buds are the main staple for ruffed grouse through the long winters, as well as providing deer and moose with twigs and foliage. Beaver and porcupines like to eat the inner bark of the trees, while purple banded, tiger swallow, and viceroy butterflies consume the leaves.
