New Order of Wenatchee Area Field Guide now available!

Curious Wenatchee area residents and visitors can use a newly published brochure to guide identification of locally common native plants and animals. The Wenatchee Area Field Guide is lightweight, waterproof, and costs $10 (includes tax). Users are introduced to over 100 native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, insects, birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Color illustrations accompany descriptive texts, helping the observer to identify species quickly. This folding pocket naturalist guide is available for purchase at the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust. 

The publication is a partnership project between Chelan-Douglas Land Trust (CDLT) and the Wenatchee Naturalist program. Susan Ballinger, the lead of the Wenatchee Naturalist program, researched and selected the species and wrote the descriptive texts. CDLT coordinated the Waterford Press publication. All proceeds will be returned to a CDLT dedicated account to fund a future third printing. All partners desire to showcase the diversity of life in our region and build broad support for protecting the habitats where native plants and animals live.   

With spring wildflowers in full bloom and migrating birds returning, now is the perfect time to purchase a copy. It makes an excellent gift for people of all ages!
