Going native.
The developing of a web of life based upon the system of native flora and fauna is clearly and compellingly presented. For anyone in the Northeastern part of the USA, this book will become a well thumbed reference. In a world where native plants are often thought of as weeds, this book is a fresh look at what makes the Northeast its own special region. .

Very helpful
The latin names helped eliminate "look alikes" in plant catalogs. This book proved to be a big help in determining native plantings for my yard. It is worth the money.

Native Plants of the N.E. by Donald Leopold
My yard has been certified by National Wildlife for years and everyone loves it. I am in landscape design and wish to use native plants as much as possible. I needed to learn more about "natives" so I can incorporate them into designs. This book has been pretty helpful in this area. One problem with this is that plant width is NOT listed. . . only height. Also, it would be very helpful to have sections within the chapters. Trees and shrubs would be more useful if sectioned into size and evergreen or deciduous.
