Cedar Forests of Ifrane- 20 cent

The cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, particularly around Ifrane, Azrou, and Khénifra, are among the largest and most important forest ecosystems in North Africa. They are home to the Atlas cedar, a species native to Morocco and Algeria that has long been valued for its durable timber and ecological importance. The region has historically served as a grazing area and travel route for local populations crossing the mountains.
During the French Protectorate period, several definitive stamps were issued portraying Morocco's landscapes, cities, and cultural heritage. This stamp celebrates the country's natural environment rather than an urban monument, emphasizing the beauty and economic importance of the cedar forests that became a symbol of the Middle Atlas region.
