Any thoughts on the grass? In my part of the US, I've never seen a forest where the ground is covered in grass like that.

It's more than likely moss, not grass.

Ohhh interesting. Still rather unusual from my perspective. Do they keep the ground clear from fallen leaves and branches?

Not usually. Everything piles up underneath and gets slowly composted into the soil. Those sort of trees don't have very big branches anyway, so there's not much big litter. Just a constant falling of the needles.
