The Pacific Northwest Forest Guide for Hikers is designed to be a comprehensive book to help anyone from novices to outdoors experts, in understanding the dynamics of Pacific Northwest Forests. The book focuses on the story of succession in a Northwest Forest from beginning to old growth, highlighting key species along the way.
Designed as a book for hikers, it is comprehensive, but brief enough to carry along on a hike to be used as an identification manual. Beyond being a tree identification book, this guide will show you how to identify whole forest types. This allows you to know what to expect before trying to nail down single species.
This information was gathered from my personal experience as an environmental scientist in Washington, but is applicable to the entire Northwest.
The guide is a backpack-able 9x7" format containing an Ecosystem-based approach to the most common tree species, with photos, and id tips.
