The states of California, Texas and West Virginia are the first states to have illustrated field guides featured on their pages in the Nature Near You section, as ArtPlantae brings attention to guides illustrated by botanical illustrators and/or scientific illustrators.
The Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada by John Muirs Laws can be viewed by visitors to California’s page. Forestry artist Bruce Lyndon Cunningham has two books in Nature Near You. The Trees of West Virginia and the Winter Key to Deciduous Woody Plants of East Texas are now posted on the pages of their respective states.
Are there illustrated field guides for your state? Please tell us at education@artplantae.com.
