This review is from: Pacific Coast Tree Finder: A Manual for Identifying Pacific Coast Trees (Nature Study Guides) (Paperback)
The Pacifc Coast Tree Finder is an excellent way to tune in to those stately giants and miniture cousins of the forests surrounding us. Easy questions about the unknown start in the front. Simple choices (needles or scales vs. ordinary leaves?) lead logically from one choice to another. Quickly, one confidently identifies the tree they are quizical about. I always feel more at one with Nature when I am able to know what is around me. This book has been a great companion for many years. An excellent choice for those seeking quickness and simplicity without having to "wade" through thicker, complicated nature identifer books.

This review is from: Pacific Coast Tree Finder: A Manual for Identifying Pacific Coast Trees (Nature Study Guides) (Paperback)
Inexpensive, portable, and easy to use. I've had students use other tree finders(dichotomus keys) in my courses, but with this one i've seen students have the most success.

This review is from: Pacific Coast Tree Finder: A Manual for Identifying Pacific Coast Trees (Nature Study Guides) (Paperback)
I first used the original "Tree Finder" as a Scout almost 30 years ago, and was delighted to find this Pacific Coast version on a recent trip to Big Sur. Like the original, it seems to be an absolutely foolproof means of identifying trees. I found it especially useful since I wasn't familiar with any of the trees of Big Sur, none of which grow here in the Midwest. Coastal California has some magnificent species -- such as the Pacific Madrone, the California Laurel, and above all the Redwood -- and any visitor to the region who spends time outdoors will find this little book helpful.
