Terrific Little Book |
I too took a tree identification class at a state park some years ago and this was the official guide book. It's easy to use, laid out well and has many varieties of trees in it. With practice, you can get to the point where you know what they look like by sight without having to resort to the book.
If you're a novice, get this book. It's inexpensive and offers you a great deal! |

finding trees... |
|
...is much easier with this manual. Following the criteria to identify each tree is sometimes confusing, but you usually end up on the right page at least of the tree you're trying to identify; given that tree is a Northeast tree and it's not winter time. There's another manual for that. |

Tree Finder is the Best |
|
I use this book to teach trees to people of all ages. I carry it with me on all camping trips plus a copy in my truck. The best part about it is to find a specific tree, say one of 6 different type of maples within just a couple pages. It helps teach the basics of how they classify the trees, also. Great book. |

This is an excellent, most handy pocket-sized resource for quick field identification of native American trees in the Mid-west. |
