Wonderful little Book!

I've used this book successfully for years on hikes and backpacking trips. The size and easy format for identification are great!

Excellent tree guide

This guide has come in very handy for tree identification in western and eastern Oregon. The steps of identification are very simple, illustrated and easy to follow. Highly recommended.

Easy to use field guide

This is a useful pocket size field guide, particularly for beginners. We use them in introductory biology courses for field work and the students find them easy to understand with little to no knowledge of how an ID guide works.

The best book for learning what trees are around you

Very logical and easy to use, compact, packed full of useful information. Includes all common native trees and some shrubs and naturalized trees. I have used the book on backpacking trips and day hikes throughout California, in Washington, and Alaska. With this book, I went from knowing nearly no trees to knowing many or most of them. Bring the book with you any time you are out in nature.

Other great books in the finder series include the Desert Tree Finder and Pacific Intertidal Life. I have found the wildflower finders more difficult to use. This tree book is probably the one you will use most.

The classic key to identifying native trees of the Pacific Coast, updated to reflect changes in the names of trees since publication of the first edition. Identifies native trees, and some widely introduced or naturalized species, of the Pacific Coast region, from British Columbia to Baja California. In this edition, Latin names of trees that grow in California conform to the University of California's 1993 Jepson Manual, and more recent name changes. From the Finders series of pocket guides to native plants and animals of the U.S. and Canada; like all plant guides in the series, this book uses a dichotomous key format for accurate identification.
