Geared toward the novice backpacker and seasoned naturalist alike, this compact, trail-handy field guide presents a new and simple way to identify all 99 species of native and naturalized Sierra trees. Using a system unique among botanical field guides, the trees of the area are divided into six major groups, according to conspicuous characteristics. Within those categories, trees are grouped by leaf and twig types enabling the reader to undertake side-by-side comparisons of species that look similar, but may not be related.
