This review is from: Northwest Trees: Identifying and Understanding the Region's Native Trees (Paperback)
This is a first rate book. The northwest region actually has relatively few native tree species. This is what makes this book simultaneously possible and useful. Given the fewer than twenty native tree species, it is worthwhile to get to know them intimately, to be able to learn something of the distribution, habitat requirements, and ecological role of each species. It is a foundation of an ecological understanding of NW forests. The illustrations are masterly, accurately capturing the gestalt of each species in a way that photographs often cannot.

This review is from: Northwest Trees: Identifying and Understanding the Region's Native Trees (Paperback)
I needed a handbook for identifying NW trees.
By chance I bought this book and lucked out. It is exactly what I was looking for and I'm enjoying every resource within it.
