Grasses, Sedges and Rushes of Wetlands Identification Deck
- With notes about wildlife use -

For wetlands and wildlife managers, naturalists and outdoors people, waterfront homeowners and science teachers, this is the Grasses, Sedges and Rushes of Wetlands Identification Deck. The small-format book is for in-the-field identification of 84 species (including 11 non-native species) of grasses, sedges and rushes of wetlands, with notes about their use by wildlife such as ducks, cranes, geese, rabbits and deer. Each plant is illustrated by color photographs, line drawings and plain-English identification text.

Each 3" X 4" page of the book is laminated for water resistance, the pages being held together by two rings, allowing for quick and easy comparisons between the ID pages and the plants needing identification. A unique inflorescence key enables non-botanists to narrow the possibilities. Scientific and common name indexes are included.

By Victor Ramey; photos and illustrations by Ann Murray.
