Apparently there are a fair number of places which have polar climates (Koppen EF/ET) and yet still have a decent amount of vegetation.

Of course, I don't mean that they necessarily have abundunt vegetation so much so that it's a very conspicuous feature of the climate, but maybe some prevalent mosses, lichens, and hardy grasses.

I thought that we could keep a list of some high-latitude places which have a decent amount of such vegetation.

Most areas in Scandinavia and Finland within the Arctic Circle have significant vegetation, and are typically Dfc - climated with forest growth. Some smaller areas at the coast with cfc-climate. Just search images from Narvik, Bodø, Fauske, Harstad, Tromsø, Bardufoss etc.

Also in western Russia a lot of forest at that latitude, and even in areas in Siberia.

What's the point of that?

One of the northernmost forests in North America is located on the shores of Walker Lake, Alaska.
