Nature Study Guild Publishers

Nature Study Guild Publishers traces its roots to the 1930s and naturalist May Theilgaard Watts. What began as a student handout then has evolved into the pocket-size books that exist today. AdventureKEEN acquired the Finder series from the third-generation Watts family business in 2014.

Nature Study Guides

“I love these mini reference books! They take up very little space on the shelf and are lightweight enough to throw in a day pack, which is much easier than trying to find data or see a screen on a smartphone while you’re out hiking or picnicking.”
“This Nature Study Series is hard to beat for the person wishing to know plants and understand the differences in physical characteristics. All this comes at a very reasonable cost.”
“I like the whole series of these books. They use deduction to figure out what you’re looking at— be it flower, tree, or animal.”
