0Over 2000 species of plants have been recorded in Maine, the most forested state in the US. The iconic Eastern White Pine serves as a fitting state tree in the Pine Tree State, and it marks the transition between hardwood forests to the south and boreal forests to the north. Across the Maine's rugged landscapes are various plant communities, including bogs filled with such specialties as pitcher-plants and sundews. There is much to learn about Maine's plant life, and it helps to have a starting point such as the portable reference Maine Trees & Wildflowers. This beautifully illustrated collection features 140 common and familiar 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 a fitting companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists who wish to forge deeper connections with the land through its flora. Made in the USA.
