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

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

Overview

Almost 4,000 plant species have been found in Utah, making it a terrific place for exploring and learning about flora. There is also an especially high level of endemism — a remarkable 8%! — in the Beehive State. For many people, 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 beautifully illustrated Utah Trees & Wildflowers, which includes 140 common and familiar birds as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots 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 connections with the land through its plants. Made in the USA.
