Canadian Field Guides

Field guides are invaluable for expanding knowledge about flora and fauna, and for identification and recognition of trees, plants, animals, birds, weather and more. Our Lone Pine Guides are region specific to Canada, feature full colour images, and are intuitively laid out to make looking up specimens quick and easy. We’ve all heard it before: “I saw some kind of bird, medium size, with white on it’s belly, black on its head and a red stripe swoop down it’s back - what was it?” - field guides provide definitive answers as to what exactly you did see, can be easily packed in on trips and expeditions.
