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!

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.

An excellent way to identify trees

I have used this guide (and also the "Winter Tree Finder") for decades and find it accurate and easy to use for it's intended purpose: identifying what tree one is looking at. If you want to learn more ABOUT the tree, get an additional book like the Audubon Society publishes. But this is so convenient to carry and easy to use it's almost always with me when I'm out hiking.

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.

Handy reference

This book provides good coverage of most trees of the northeast. It is compact and handy to carry along.
