The Trees of Washington: A Field Grimoire of Identification, Ecology, Folklore, and Relationship
The tree is not only a symbol. It is a living organism with a name, a habitat, a season, a community, and a history.
The Trees of Washington is a 56-page printable field grimoire created for practitioners, naturalists, journal keepers, and curious wanderers who want to build a more grounded relationship with the trees of Washington State.
Inside, you will meet 36 native trees—from Western redcedar, Douglas-fir, Western hemlock, and Pacific silver fir to Garry oak, Pacific madrone, bigleaf maple, black cottonwood, quaking aspen, Pacific dogwood, and more.
Each tree portrait includes:
- Common and scientific names
- Native Washington range and habitat
- Recognizable field marks
- Seasonal signs
- Ecological relationships
- Carefully separated human context
- A clearly labeled contemporary studio correspondence
- Stewardship guidance
- A field invitation and observation record
The book also includes:
- A first-question field key
- A complete species index
- Six full-page botanical portrait inserts
- A four-season tree-observation practice
- Four reusable field-record pages
- Source and verification guidance
- A method for separating botanical fact, documented history, folklore, personal observation, and interpretation
- Extensive safety, cultural-respect, conservation, and responsible-gathering guidance
This is not a book of correspondences placed over anonymous scenery. It is an invitation to learn who actually lives where you do.
Observation before interpretation. Relationship before possession.
