Manual Of Oregon Trees And Shrubs
Since its inception in 1958, the Manual of Oregon Trees and Shrubs has become a standard for educating college and university students about trees and shrubs that occupy Pacific Northwest forests. It also serves as a great training aid for field crews new to the Northwest, and for more experienced foresters and natural resource specialists who need a refresher. Although its name highlights Oregon, the book includes trees and shrubs ranging from Alaska to northern California and from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountains. While focusing on forest species, it includes a number of prominent rangeland species that associate with foresters.
