They also provide food and shelter for many animal species and contribute nutrients to the soil. This beautifully illustrated guide highlights over 140 familiar and unique species of trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. It also includes a map featuring prominent botanical sanctuaries. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, folding pocket guide is an excellent source of portable information - ideal for field use by hikers, campers, and every nature enthusiast in-between.
