A Guide to Seward Area Plants

By Stuart Allena and His Seward High School Science Class



Price: $6.95

From common species such as blueberry and Devil's club to lesser known yellow dryas and mare's tail, this book covers a wide range of plants found in the Seward area. Divided by habitat, the useful guide offers up the scientific, family, and common names of each plant, in addition to such important information as its features, range, and description. A black and white illustration helps identify each plant while the section on uses, medicinal, traditional, and as a food source, gives the reader something most guides don't. The introduction details the different habitats of the Seward area, presenting important features of each and where to go to experience the forested, aquatic, successional, beach, and disturbed habitats of the area. Stuart Allen is a former field botanist and forester turned high school science teacher. He has always wanted to write a book about plants, and during the 1997-98 school year he accomplished just that with this informative guide. Taking his students on numerous fieldtrips throughout the Seward area, the class worked together to collect, research, write, and illustrate the collection of plants found in this informative book.
