I’ve seen 2 new awesome resources pop up in the comments this week (I haven’t added them to the list yet my personal life is chaos right now). I’d love to know if you guys have come across any other books, websites, videos etc that you find very useful and informative to add to the list.
Here is the current list of resources.
I’d love to get as many resources as possible outside the US.
Here is the current list of resources available!
For trees my all time favorite is the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA Bulletin series. The first 10 or so is an amazing general overview of tree husbandry and biology, with much of the rest being about developing roads/buildings/developments with trees in mind.
For Maryland:
Sweden:
https://artportalen.se/ (SV) Portal of species. It includes animal species. Users can report observations. It’s not restricted to native, only present in the country, but it will indicate if the species are native.
https://pratensis.se/ (SV) You can order Swedish meadow native seeds and plants.
https://www.floraweb.de/ (DE) - Information on more than 4000 species of ferns and flowering plants growing in the wild in Germany. https://neobiota.bfn.de/ (DE) - Information portal of the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation on alien and invasive species in Germany. https://www.nabu.de/umwelt-und-ressourcen/oekologisch-leben/balkon-und-garten/tiere/insekten/22629.html (DE) - Insect friendly native plants to plant in your garden as recommended by a nature conservation NGO.
Unfortunately I can’t help with non-US resources but here are two excellent state level ones I’ve seen: https://www.fnps.org/plants for Florida and Calscape.org for California.
Especially helpful since most resources online have a northeast or Midwest focus I’ve found.
