Product Description

For wilderness travelers and backyard naturalists alike, the sheer number and variety of North American trees can make identification a daunting task. For those who have struggled to distinguish the Pacific Yew from the Redwood or the Quaking Aspen from the Fremont Cottonwood comes Trees of the U.S., a user-friendly series of field guides. Ingeniously organized to allow for easy reference, each book in the series offers complete coverage of a given region of the United States and includes detailed and accurate illustrations of each species. Best of all, these guides are compact and lightweight, making them easy to throw in a pack and take along on a hike or camping trip.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author
This authoritative book will identify all 95 species of magnificent trees that grow in the Sierra - and at any season, not just when the tree is in leaf or flower. Species that look alike are described and illustrated together whether they are related or not. Within each small group, similarities and differences can be readily compared. Cover photo of Giant Sequoia in full color.

Good Laymans Guide4
Great for the occasional hiker strolling thru the woods and wondering, "i wonder what kind of tree that is"? good illustrations esp. illustrations of bark(which are usually hard to draw). spend a couple of bucks, it will make you hike a whole lot more interesting.....
