This handbook serves as a comprehensive guide to identifying Michigan's native and significant introduced tree species, aimed at both students and the general public. The book seeks to encourage tree study and conservation, emphasizing the importance of understanding local flora. The opening of this handbook outlines its purpose and structure, explaining the impetus behind its creation, which was to foster interest in forestry and tree conservation among residents of Michigan. It details the book's use of artificial keys, a method designed to help readers identify trees by their characteristics throughout the year, whether in summer or winter.
