Spotter’s Guide

This leaf checklist will help you identify the 40 leaves in this book. Tick off each leaf as you find it to keep a record. Leaves can be enjoyed in many ways; from the heights of a tall tree or when golden and fallen to the ground. Collect fallen leaves but don’t take leaves off plants in the wild.
