Name that pine

We don't have that kind of pine on our little island in the North Atlantic; being an island we have few natural species of trees and wildlife. We have a dense boreal forest of mainly black spruce
(dominating the background in a lot of my pics) and balsam fir; the bit of pine we have is white pine or red pine.

Got me thinking - one of the few natural wildlife species in a cute little weasel - the Newfoundand Pine Marten (pictured). Is now endangered due to trapping in the early 1900s and now due to loss of habitat... hopefully he'll rebound.

Cheers,
