About This Book

A practical field guide that explains tree structure and growth—roots, cambium, sapwood, heartwood, leaves, and reproductive parts—and how water, minerals, light, and gases support development. It clarifies common classification terms and exceptions, maps major regional forest types, and catalogs native and introduced species with notes on their uses. Identification aids include drawings of leaves, twigs, fruits, keys, and a glossary, while editorial material offers straightforward advice for nontechnical readers on recognizing, managing, and conserving local trees and the forest products they yield.

3. Break matches and crush smokes before discarding.

4. Use car ash tray for smokes and used matches when traveling in a vehicle. Don’t pitch them out the window.

5. Clear the area around a warming or camp fire before lighting it.

Each eBook is in a separate directory; its directory name is the Project Gutenberg number for the eBook.

Each eBook directory may contain files in various formats; only the HTML files are relevant here; other files are optional.

HTML files are in a subdirectory consisting of the Gutenberg number followed by “-h”.

The HTML file itself has a name consisting of the Gutenberg number followed by “-h”, with a file extension of “.htm”.

Associated media files (such as images, MIDI files, etc.) are contained in a further subdirectory “images”

To view these files, open any of the “*-h.htm” files in a web browser.
