Synopsis
The largest state in the union at over 665,000 square miles, Alaska spans 32 distinct ecoregions, including the moist Pacific Northwest coast, the remote Aleutian Islands, Arctic tundra, and coastal mountains. The Last Frontier State is dramatic as it is biodiverse, and it is home to a remarkable assemblage of life forms, from the state marine mammal (the long-lived Bowhead Whale) to the state bird (Willow Ptarmigan) to the state flower (Forget-me-not.) To better acquaint you with Alaska's natural history, we have packaged together three portable references--Birds, Trees & Wildflowers, and Wildlife--in an attractive acetate bag. Each guide features beautiful illustrations of 140 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 terrific three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to forge deeper and more meaningful connections with the rugged landscapes of Alaska and their attendant plants and animals. Made in the USA.
