Pine and spruce trees, which are the most prominent representatives of coniferous plants, can often be found on the territory of Moscow.

In the 26th and 27th quarters of Bittsevsky Forest and in the Znamenskoye-Sadki estate there are century-old spruce forests, which is a rarity for the urban environment. There are young trees, which testify to the regeneration of the forest, and pine trees of a special craggy shape, preserved from the time when the territory was open spaces.

In Bittsevo Park there are ecological routes through the coniferous forest and out to the pond dug out in the XIII century.

Native spruce and pine forests are also preserved in the national park "Losiny Ostrov". In the Alekseevskaya Grove there are pine forests, the age of which exceeds 150-200 years, as well as a rare plaunus pinus and an evergreen herbaceous spore perennial listed in the Red Book of Moscow.
