EMMETT \u2022 If you\u2019ve hiked in Idaho\u2019s rangelands or forests and wondered what grasses, plants or forbs you saw along the way, a new full-color \u201cBackpack Guide to Idaho Range Plants\u201d might provide the answers.<\/p>\n

The 170-page, spiral-bound guide includes information from previous editions of a guide to \u201cIdaho Range Plants<\/a>,\u201d but it\u2019s the first edition to be printed in color. That makes a big difference when you\u2019re trying to identify flowering plants.<\/p>\n

The book provides a detailed guide to identifying 69 plant species frequently seen throughout the state.<\/p>\n

Produced by the University of Idaho Rangeland Center and the Idaho Rangeland Resource Commission, the seventh edition was a collaborative project involving UI students, faculty, alumni and friends of the UI Rangeland Center. Proceeds from the book will go to the UI Rangeland Center student internship program.<\/p>\n

The $15 guide is available on the IRRC website: http:\/\/idrange.org\/store\/books\/backpack-guide-to-idaho-range-plants<\/a>. Since the book was released earlier this year, 700 copies have been sold.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very excited that the book has been so well received,\u201d Gretchen Hyde, executive director of IRRC, said in a press release. \u201cWhether you are an outdoor recreationist, educator, rangeland professional, rancher or curious (about) the wide array of plants found in Idaho\u2019s diverse landscapes, this guide is a great resource to add to your day pack, backpack, vehicle or reference library.\u201c<\/p>\n

It provides a guide to the plant community eco-regions in Idaho, detailed drawings of how to differentiate between forbs, shrubs, grasses, sedges and rushes, and the basics on how to identify grasses, forbs, leaves and shrubs.<\/p>\n
