Handy, though number of species covered is limited By Dr. Joe This would appear to be a useful guide with the essentials and some bonus features like how to identify leafless trees in winter, but it includes a small number of species, 127, in the West, though generally the most common ones. Compare its coverage with the much more comprehensive Trees of Western North America (by Spellenberg et al), with 630 species---about five times the number. Descriptions in the DeMarco book are generally fuller than in Spellenberg, and its compactness is an advantage on a hike. I own both books, and there is always an advantage in looking up a tree in several books for more accurate identification. The Spellenberg includes introduced trees like eucalyptus and tree-of-heaven that have found their way into the natural landscape.

By Elizabeth M Cortright As an environmental educator in the Eastern part of Pennsylvania, I wish we had this exact kind of book for our trees here. Identifying Trees of the West is professionally done but in layman's terms. The format is nicely organized and the pictures are clear and large enough to be able to distinguish the differences between the trees. This book makes me want to head "out West" and start identifying trees. The book is small enough to fit in a backpack, you shouldn't go hiking out West without this book! Thank you Lois DeMarco and Jay Mengel

A Must Have Guide By Kevin B Elliott Yes indeed there are plenty of western tree field guides, but this is a "must have" whether amateur naturalist, professional "ologist", or simply someone curious about what they are seeing and wondering why it exists where it does. I worked professionally with Lois for four years and her work and commitment to helping people understand the environment around them was a trait not all of us possesses. Her partner and husband Jay Mengel is also a wonderful person sharing a passion for interpreting and conserving our natural environment. This field guide combines a lot of approaches often found in several but separate guides all in one very well done and illustrated guide. The species accounts, leaf identification guide, and winter identification all framed in the "importance of place" is masterful.
