Description

California's Mediterranean climate, varied topography, and vast north-south reach make it a hotbed for biodiversity and an inspiring outdoor playground. From its regional endemic birds and iconic fishes like the state fish (California Golden Trout) to its over 200 terrestrial mammals and over 5000 plant species, there is an endless tapestry of interacting life forms to explore throughout the year. To better acquaint you with the rich natural history of the Golden State, we have packaged together three portable references--Birds, Trees & Wildflowers, and Wildlife--in an attractive acetate bag. Each guide features beautiful illustrations of over 100 common species as well as an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding, botanical, or wildlife-viewing hotspots. Laminated for durability, these lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guides comprise a terrific three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to forge deeper and more meaningful connections with California's landscapes and peer more closely into the fascinating lives of their attendant plants and animals. Made in the USA.
