About Plant Identification Guides
Since using the South Dakota Plants and Wildlife Facebook Group I've noticed lots of people needing help with plant identification. I put together this list of books about the plants of the Northern Plains including the Black Hills. You can purchase these books from Amazon. All links to products are affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.
