Field Guides for Every Region: Pocket, Laminated & Waterproof

FoldingGuides™ are printed on laminated, waterproof material built to hold up outdoors. The lamination keeps each field guide readable through rain, humidity, and repeated use in the field, unlike paper pages that tear or fade over time.

Traditional field guides are bound books, often over 100 pages. FoldingGuides™ use a single fold-out sheet that opens flat for instant reference, so there's no flipping through chapters to find the right page. Illustrations replace photographs throughout, which makes side-by-side identification easier in the field.

A regional field guide, like the ones covering Alaska or the Southwest, groups multiple species found in that area onto one title. A species-specific guide, such as a wildlife field guide dedicated to birds or fish, goes deeper on a single group across a broader range. The right pick depends on the trip: a general overview of one place, or a closer look at one species group.

FoldingGuides™ are pocket-sized, laminated to survive outdoor conditions, and written and illustrated by naturalist experts. That combination makes them a practical pick for hikers, birders, and anyone identifying species on the move.

Yes, bulk orders are available for classrooms, nature centers, and other educational programs. FoldingGuides™ work well for group teaching since each student can reference the same laminated pocket field guide without passing around a single book.
