For wilderness travellers and backyard naturalists alike, the sheer number and variety of North American trees can make identification a daunting task. Ingeniously organised to allow for easy reference, each book in the series offers coverage of a given region of the United States and includes detailed and accurate illustrations of each species.
I brought this along on a family trip through Arizona (Sedona) and New Mexico. We made an activity of identifying trees in the parks we visited and in town. The book's organization and clear illustrations made this possible.
