   Book 6: Reading the Forested Landscape. I am not great at tree identification. I mentioned this to a friend. She suggested this book which is so much more than just tree id-ing, it's more like "Can you tell what went on in this forest before you got here?" puzzles which come with a lot of explanations about forest ecology. You learn about things like blowdowns and pest invasions, fire damage and beaver signs. I'm not sure my tree ID will be any better but I feel like I know the forest better.
