Alberta Trees & Wildflowers

Alberta Trees & Wildflowers is a folding pocket guide built for anyone trying to make sense of Alberta’s plant life, from the Boreal and Canadian Shield to the Grassland and Rocky Mountain regions. Alberta is home to more than 2600 plants, and this guide narrows that down to 140 familiar species of trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, including the provincial Wild Rose, in a format that is easy to carry and easy to use outdoors.

Published by Waterford Press, it includes 135 color illustrations, 2 color photos, and an ecoregion map on the back panel featuring over 20 botanical sanctuaries. The laminated construction adds real durability for field use, whether it lives in a daypack, a truck door pocket, or a classroom tote. For educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists, it’s a practical reference that helps build a deeper understanding of Alberta’s landscapes without overcomplicating the experience.
