Customer Reviews

This little guide is really helpful!

I live in Michigan and already own the Birds of Michigan Guide by Stan Tekeila. So, when I saw the Trees Guide of Michigan by the same author, I decided to give it a try. We moved to an area in Michigan with some nice old trees in our yard that I had no idea what they were. After I received the book, a few days ago, I went outside to check out some trees. I found out what they were immediately. I had a Bur Oak and another was Witch Hazel. I took a leaf from each and put it right in the book so I wouldn't forget. The Trees of Michigan Field Guide is really handy to use. There is a photo on one page with additional little photos of the bark, cone and so on. Then the other page gives hints about the particular tree so that you can identify it. One interesting fact is how long each tree might live. The Bur Oak should live between 150 and 250 years! I am pretty sure it was here when the Indians lived in this area. It is pretty huge. This is a fine little book and I would highly recommend it.

Trees of Michigan: Field Guide

This is a user friendly guide for amateurs. Its pocket-sized format makes it easy to take along. The pictures and discriptions are well done and make identification easy. I recommend it for youth and adults.

Trees of Michigan: Field Guide (Our Nature Field Guides)

Excellent reference material. Can't leave home without it.

Great Series!

I received this book as a gift and love it! The book is well organized, easy to use, affordable, and contains good pictures. I also own this authors Michigan Wildflowers and Michigan Birds books- which are excellent. I looked at several other series of nature identification books and they were either too big, too expensive, or too difficult to use. Children could easily use these books.
