Description

Michigan hosts several major forest communities, including pine, boreal, oak-hickory, and beech-maple, as well as additional ecosystems like sand dunes, beaches, marshes, and prairies. Across these landscapes and wetlands grow almost 3,000 plant species like the Eastern White Pine (the state tree), and notable animals like Kirtland's Warbler, American Bullfrog, Monarch butterfly, Painted Turtle (state reptile), and White-tailed Deer (the state mammal). To better acquaint you with the natural history of the Great Lakes 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 comprehensive three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to develop a deeper understanding of over 300 common plants and animals from across Michigan. Made in the USA.
