Cedar Bog Book List

The books and field guides listed here are recommended by Jean Gayley and Terry Jawarski, plus there are a few of our own for those beginners who want to start some place simple. Realize that Cedar Bog is a unique habitat and so the guides specific to Ohio do not include all of the plants that reside in Cedar Bog. There are some things that the glacier left behind and the bog nourishes here that you just shouldn't find here.
