Overview

Over 2,800 species of plants grow in Vermont, making it a great place to explore and learn about flora. One of the Green Mountain State’s biggest claims to fame is its spectacular fall colors, which begin with the reds and oranges of maples — notably state tree Sugar Maple — before giving way to the golden yellows of birches, aspens, and Tamaracks. Plants represent a major part of a landscape’s character, so it helps to get acquainted with the most representative species to establish a solid foundation of knowledge on which to build. You can do this with the portable reference Vermont Trees & Wildflowers, which includes 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 pocket folding guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists who wish to forge deeper and more meaningful connections with the land through its plant life. Made in the USA.
