Guide to Common Native Plants of the Deschutes Canyon Area by Marilynne Keyser This field guide includes the most common native plants on public lands near Crooked River Ranch in Central Oregon. It is small (8.5" x 4.25") and durable, so you can take it on your hikes to identify native shrubs, bunchgrasses and wildflowers on the many local trails. Organized by bloom time, the field guide is especially helpful from February through September. FANs bestselling guidebook, Common Native Plants of the Deschutes Canyon Area, is SOLD OUT. Please check with your local independent bookstore where copies may still be available. We are working on a second, expanded edition as well as a companion guidebook on invasive weeds. We plan to have both books available in 2022. Stay tuned! Guide books cost $15. Both the plant and weed guide books will be available at these local booksellers: Herringbone Books in Redmond Dudley's Bookshop Cafe in Bend Roundabout Books in Bend Paulina Springs Books in Sisters Bowman Museum in Prineville |
