If not for the Clark's Nutcracker, chances are that white bark pine trees would be in more danger of disappearing than they already are. These birds are sometimes called the Johnny Appleseed of pine cones thanks to their habit of burying nuts from a variety of species of pine trees that grow at elevations from 3,000' - 11,000' in the western mountains. Luckily for all of us, the nutcrackers don't reclaim all the seeds they bury, allowing some to sprout into new trees that will provide cones to future generations of birds and mammals.
