Overview

An impressive array of grasses and wildflowers can be found in North Dakota’s tallgrass prairies, mixedgrass prairies, shortgrass prairies, lakes, marshes, rivers, and deciduous forests. With its big skies and vast expanses, the Peace Garden State is an excellent place to learn about and explore plant life. For many people, plants represent a major aspect of a landscape’s character, so it helps to get acquainted with the most representative species. You can do this with the portable reference North Dakota Trees & Wildflowers, which features beautiful illustrations of 140 common and familiar trees, shrubs, and wildflowers as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 botanical sanctuaries and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a great tool for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists to use for identifying plants and getting more familiar with their fascinating life histories. Made in the USA.
