Massachusetts Nature Set: Field Guides to Wildlife, Birds, Trees & Wildflowers of Massachusetts

With a diverse mix of ecosystems, including oak forests, pine forests, rivers, salt marshes, and peatlands, flora and fauna abound in Massachusetts. From the Ladybird Beetle (the state insect) and the Eastern Gartersnake (the state reptile) to the Trailing Arbutus or "Mayflower" (the state flower), there is plenty to learn about and experience. To better acquaint you with the natural history of the Bay State, we have packaged together three portable references--Birds, Trees & Wildflowers, and Wildlife--in an attractive acetate bag. Each guide features beautiful illustrations of over 100 common species, as well as an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding, botanical, or wildlife-viewing hotspots. Laminated for durability, these lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guides comprise a comprehensive three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to peer more closely into the fascinating lives of over 300 of the most representative species in Massachusetts. Made in the USA.
