Prince Edward Island Trees & Wildflowers: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Plants (Pocket Naturalist Guides)

Description

With easy access and short travel distances, Prince Edward Island is a terrific place to study and learn about plants. The island's Acadian forests consist of a mix of hardwood trees on rich, upland sites and coniferous species in damp areas. Pink Ladies slippers, the provincial flower, are common among pine trees each spring. The iconic red sand gives a ruby tinge to barrier beaches and rolling expanses of sand dunes. Various types of wetlands dot the Garden of the Gulf and provide habitat for a host of aquatic and semi-aquatic species. For many people, plants represent the character of a landscape, so getting to know the most familiar species is key. This beautifully illustrated resource features 140 common trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 botanical sanctuaries and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal in-field companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists who wish to sharpen their identification skills and learn more about PEI's plants. Made in the USA.
