Great Lakes Trees & Wildflowers: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Plants
This is the long, catalog/marketing description of the product.Covering a staggering 94,000 square miles, the Great Lakes Basin is the world’s largest freshwater watershed and is one of the great wonders of the natural world in North America.
