Overview

Despite its small size, Connecticut has impressive biodiversity, in large part due to its varied landscapes, which include several forest types. In fact, much of the state has become reforested over the past century and once again features rich hardwood communities. This means that wildlife abounds in the Constitution State, from the state bird (American Robin) to the state insect (European Praying Mantis) to the state wildflower (Mountain Laurel) and state tree (Charter Oak). To better acquaint you with the rich natural history of the Constitution State, we have packaged together three portable references—Birds, Trees & Wildflowers, and Wildlife—in an attractive acetate bag. Each guide features beautiful illustrations of over 100 common species, as well as an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding, botanical, or wildlife-viewing hotspots. Laminated for durability, these lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guides comprise a terrific three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who want to sharpen their identification skills and develop a deeper understanding of the fascinating lives of Connecticut’s plants and animals. Made in the USA.
