With the help of Trees and Shrubs in Winter, it is possible to identify most trees and shrubs – down to the smallest ground creepers – in winter. The descriptions contain enough detail to satisfy the experts but are written in language accessible to the weekend naturalist. The line drawings have been created with identification in mind. The plants in this book are found throughout BC and the Rockies with a focus on those found on the north coast, in the northeast and in the interior north of Williams Lake.
