Pine resin was also one of the ingredients used in the embalming process in Egypt due to its natural antimicrobial properties, so pine needles are naturally quite microbe resistant. IIRC, If you keep pine needles cool while drying, the chlorophyll can remain stable in which case the needles will stay green for an incredible amount of time.

GI: In the Army, they teach us not to piss on our hands
