What a wonderful resource. Looking forward to seeing it.
Thanks Scott, going to the printers this month.
Oh, my, I am speechless, as a visual learner, this will certainly speed things up for me….what an incredible, selfless and priceless, body of work! So grateful to you all!
I plan to give to a friend, as a parting gift, my copy of W. C. Muenscher’s “KEYS TO WOODY PLANTS” (Cornell University Press, 1974) but, of course, the nomenclature is badly out-of-date. I am hoping someone at Northern Forests, someone with a better knowledge than I have of Michigan’s lower peninsula and its flora, could provide one or a few recommendations.
I worked with Ricardo Lujambio in the Upper Florida Keys, first while we were both with the Florida Park Service (him as Park Ranger and me as Park Biologist) and also working together in our second (part-time) jobs, as invasive species technicians with the County Land Steward, where I continued to mentor my friend and co-worker on plant identification, conservation land management, and English (Ricardo is from Peru).
Five years ago, Ricardo married and moved to Palm Beach County (FL) where, while working for the County Parks, he fathered two sons, has a daughter on the way, and took classes at Palm Beach State College, earning an A. S. degree in Environmental Studies. The family is now moving to Lansing (MI), and Ricardo has been offered a position with Michigan DNR.
I’d like to send my friend off with a good botanical resource or two, and the Northern Forest Atlas appears to be an outstanding one. Unfortunately, despite inevitable overlapping and accelerating changes in botanical ranges, “Woody Plants of the Northern Forest – A Digital Atlas, WP-40” appears to leave Lansing (MI) just outside of “the Northern Forest.”
I am considering also giving him my copy of “TREE FINDER: A Manual for Identification of Trees by their Leaves; Eastern US (Nature Study Guides, 1991) by May Theilgaard Watts.
Many thanks (in advance) for any advice you might be able to offer.
James,
Our apologies for delay. We suggest all of out Photographic Guides (Woodies and Sedges available now) and coming Field Guides will be useful to your friend and colleague in Michigan, as much of Michigan’s lower peninsula and all of it’s upper peninsula are in the Northern Forest Region. Most rural areas around Lansing will have species included in these Guides and perhaps some overlap of species from the more disturbed Oak/Hickory zone, adjacent to the south.
Our Sedge Digital Atlas is available for download now on the website, and Woodies and Mosses Digital Atlases will be available this coming winter.

Looking forward to this a lot. Is there a new ETA for these PDFs?
We are very close, Sedges and Woodies are ready, and mosses is being checked now. They will all go up together. Mosses is over 1000 pages and that is what took longer.

Thank you !, je suis un technicien forestier et photographe amateur.
Thank you so much for making these available!
I’m looking forward to getting and using them all. How much boreal species will be covered?
