Get outdoors, have fun, and learn about the world around you with Finders pocket guides from Nature Study Guild Publishers. The Finders series includes 22 field guides to native plants and animals of the United States and Canada. These inexpensive, pocket-sized books are designed to stick in your pocket or pack and take with you outdoors. Their two-color interiors are highly illustrated with line drawings that highlight important features of the species being identified.
The Finders books are widely used in environmental education programs, and in schools from upper elementary through college level. Plant ID books are organized as dichotomous keys, a format favored by many educators for learning to identify plants.
Finders books cover three general regions in North America, descibed below. Some books cover smaller areas within these regions. Read the book's description for more information.
