Wyoming Trees & Wildflowers: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Plants

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

Overview

With an impressive mix of terrain, ecosystems, and plant communities, Wyoming is bursting with rich plant life. Nearly 3,00 species of vascular plants have been observed in the Cowboy State, which hosts westerly species in the Rocky Mountains as well as Midwestern prairie species like state flower Indian Paintbrush. Getting to know a landscape often starts with learning representative plants. You can do this with the portable and beautifully illustrated Wyoming Trees & Wildflowers, which features 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 the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists who wish to forge deeper and more meaningful relationships with the land through its plant life. Made in the USA.

Camping Life Magazine

"We have had a blast hiking and hovering over plants to determine if they are in our pocket guide…The children have claimed the Camping 101 Duraguide. It is the first thing they now pull out when we arrive at camp."

Mommy's Memorandum - Julee Morrison

Pocket Naturalist guides are to nature-loving backpackers what Cliffs Notes are to teens trying to navigate Shakespeare: essential.
