South Dakota Nature Set: Field Guides to Wildlife, Birds, Trees & Wildflowers of South Dakota

by James Kavanagh, Waterford Press, Raymond Leung (Illustrator)

Overview

Much of South Dakota is covered in rich grassland and farmland. There are also pockets of forest, badlands, mountains, and myriad wetlands, where astounding congregations of cranes and waterfowl occur. Megafauna like Elk and Bighorn Sheep roam aspen forests and rocky ridges respectively. To help you get better acquainted with the natural history of the Mount Rushmore 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 comprehensive three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to deepen their knowledge of over 300 familiar plants and animals in South Dakota. Made in the USA.
