Trailside Botany - 101 Favorite Trees, Shrubs and Wildflowers of the Upper Midwest

by John Bates
1995

Our Take

A nice one-book take-along for a hike.   We especially value the tree section to help us ID 20+ of the most common trees along the trails. But, the flowers and shrubs section is also helpful.  A perfect "first book" for any local hiker or enthusiast.
