Forest Trees of Illinois is now available!

The 2009 edition of Forest Trees of Illinois was recently released. This book is described as "the ultimate field guide for outdoor enthusiasts in Illinois."

"Since 1927, Forest Trees of Illinois has been the definitive, introductory field guide for native and introduced trees of the Prairie State. It's a book every Illinoisan should have in the backpack and on the bookshelf."
