Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-09 00:00:00 Thomas Kolar I marked this as "read", but it's not really a book for "reading". This handy little book, about 3" x 5", helps you identify native trees (and some common invasives) of the Pacific coast. It does this dichotomous-key style, which is kind of like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure approach to identification: If the needles are arranged in a spiral pattern, go to this symbol below. If the needles are across from each other in pairs, go to page 32. It's not entirely comprehensive - for example, it will help you identify that a tree is a cypress, but not which of the many cypresses it is - but it is completely adequate for the casual tree-observer. It is also incredibly easy for children or adults to use, and will slip easily into the pocket of a backpack.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-24 00:00:00 Jerry Marino A very cool resource to keep in your pocket as you explore the wilderness. Helped me learn a lot about the trees in the area. Recommend using along with a more descriptive guide (this mostly is a binary model that uses specific characteristics of a tree - primarily leaf shape - to determine the tree type). A descriptive guide will allow you to confirm/reject the suggestion based on the binary model.
