It extends from the Carolinas in the United States and finds its northern limit in the southwestern section of Ontario , in Canada . The region is of particular importance in Canada because it provides the country with its most unique and Richest Abundance of Plant and Animal life. Trees such as various species of Ash , Birch , Chestnut , Hickory , Oak , and Walnut are found here. Raccoon s and Possum s to the relatively rare Southern Flying Squirrel , as well as Nuthatch es and Chickadees also favour Carolinian forests. Of concern, is that while less than one percent of Canada's land mass is occupied by this natural habitat, the same area is also home to one-quarter of the country's population. It is estimated that 80 per cent of Canada's Carolinian forest has already been Destroyed . The remaining portions, mostly scattered and disconnected, continue to be threatened by human development.
