by Michael Shaw

Overview

This 14 page booklet loaded with pictures shows you step by step how to make a plant press. Using inexpensive materials, you'll be on your way to using a plant press, or leaf press, for all sorts of projects, including craft projects where you need to press things flat. You can press and make dried flowers, collect beautiful fall colored leaves, or make greeting cards. If you are simply are interested in nature this is a great way to get physically closer to the natural world. We are all part of nature!

More practically, if you want to do a science project, it is important to describe and document the environment. Tree identification often becomes a key part of the project and by taking leaf samples, it helps to identify trees. Field manuals about trees are very good, but often you will need to do more research to identify a particular tree species. Leaf samples are critical in this task. A good plant press is the answer.
