NZ Flora and Fauna books
Original post
Hi there,
The more I am out in the bush, the more I want to know what I'm looking at.
Can anyone recommend some handy reference books for either NZ flora or NZ fauna.
Kind of keen on something I can throw in my pack and drag out when I take a scroggin break.
Otherwise, something I can keep at home and look at when I get home would be good too.
Thanks
A
Don't take a book. Use the [inaturalist app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.inaturalist.android&hl=en). Join the [NZ inaturalist community](https://inaturalist.nz/).
Thanks for the suggestion Berend, I certainly learn better from books than computer screens, but I will download that app and have a crack anyway.
I prefer to leave my phone off while I'm on the track as well, so book suggestions are still appreciated.
My knowledge was transformed when I started using the app and joined the community.
For suggestions: "Nature Guide to the New Zealand Forest" by John Dawson and Rob Lucas.
And "Which Native Fern" by Andrew Crowe.
