Learn your trees (UK bias), page

One of the main things to survivial is knowing your vegetation around you, knowing what plant is what is key to finding food/shelter and will help you more than almost anything else.

I found this excellent guide to knowing your trees - mainly UK biased but thats where I live

The Audubon Field Guides are incredibly handy as well for subjects like this, especially since they have more broad spectrum ones and ones tailored to specific regions.

Thank you for the information, it is now apart of my offline collection

I think there is a PDF floating around the net with information on UK plants and trees, highly detailed. It is a City Council PDF I think, city/district councils maintain the parks and teach their employees about every tree and plant, they were given a guide to follow, this pdf. I cant remember where the hell it is though :S
