Pine Belt

Pine Belt

The Pine Belt is a region of the North American continent entirely enclosed with the United States of America, known for its abundance in pine trees. The Pine Belt spans from Oklahoma and Arkansas, across the South and Southeast, and upwards along the East Coast to New York. Recent deforestation has led to a decline in the number of pine trees in the belt, while a new infestation of Brazilian Pepper has led to the belt gaining the nickname of "The Pepper Belt". In Mississippi, the Pine Belt refers to an area centered around Hattiesburg and Laurel.
