Arkansas Nature Set

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

Overview

The small but nature-filled state of Arkansas hosts an impressive assemblage of flora and fauna, including over 70 mammals, more than 400 birds, 155 butterflies, a remarkable 115 reptiles and amphibians, and over 2,700 vascular plants. To better acquaint you with the rich natural history of the Natural 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 terrific three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to forge deeper and more meaningful connections with the natural spaces throughout Arkansas and their attendant plants and animals. Made in the USA.

Editorial Reviews

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

Backpacker Magazine Editors

The “Pocket Naturalist Guides” are colorful, pocket-sized, laminated, folded guides (3½" x 8¼" folded, open to 22" x 8¼"), designed to be taken into the wilderness. They cover states and wilderness regions, some featuring all wildlife and some much more focused (e.g., butterflies, ducks). Yes, they'll require creative shelving (we put ours in an old map box next to the other field guides), and their life span may be shorter than your average field guide, but their quality, low price, and variety are worth the inconvenience. - Library Journal
