A Field Guide to Trees of Ontario

From the cherry blossoms ushering in spring to the maple leaves changing colours

for fall, our local trees are beloved markers for the changing seasons. This spring
celebrates the launch of A Field Guide to Trees of Ontario, a new book that is a portal
to the hundreds of trees species found in Ontario, published by the Royal Ontario
Museum.

Featuring more than 1,400 vibrant photographs and illustrations, the field guide describes the trees likely to be encountered, whether on a hike in the woods or on a walk down city streets.

The book features an illustrated glossary of botanical terms, distribution maps, and

photographs depicting distinctive characteristics of individual tree species, both naturally occurring and cultivated species. it includes diagnostic descriptions for quick recognition, informative notes and anecdotes, and easy-to-use identification keys to trees in summer and winter condition.

A Field Guide to Trees of Ontario is a must-have for tree enthusiasts—novices and experts alike.
