A Cypress forest is a western United States plant association typically dominated by one or more cypress species.
Example species comprising the canopy include Cupressus macrocarpa.
In some cases these forests have been severely damaged by goats, cattle and other grazing animals.
This forest of Hesperocyparis guadalupensis trees was devastated by introduced goats, but conservation biology efforts have been conducted to assist in restoring the forest.
