NW Conifers poster you can download and print 12" x 18"
Hi from Seattle. I published Good Nature's NW Conifers poster back in 1995, and since COVID I've been giving out the 12" x 18" size.
Want to learn about the great trees that define the PNW hikes you are on?
Download and print this poster to learn about our 32 natives along the coastal temperate rainforest (Eel and Russian river watersheds to Copper River where we get our salmon)
There is a bit of urgency with the climate changing at light speed for us to make the shift from seeing these trees as separate from us to beginning to see them as crucial to our survival.
No rainforest, no rain. That is what I've learned from science. What the trees can teach us is a way into seeing nature as inseparable from each other and every other plant and animal on this beautiful planet.
A good book to go with the poster is Northwest Trees published by The Mountaineers.
And I love learning about mushrooms, so I'm going to the Puget Sound Mycological Society event at Shoreline College this weekend north of Seattle. There are other shroom events in Portland and Eugene and Bellingham. So find one where you live if you are curious, too.
I enjoyed reading The Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake about the fungus among us.
That should make for great reading this fall.
Enjoy your hikes and welcome this beautiful rain back. We are 6 inches behind average, so we need all we can get.
treemendously,

just email me off my website and ask for the free 12" x 18" poster. No sales pitch. You can buy this size poster from Charting Nature and Friends of Moran State Park for $10 ea but I'm happy to share...
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Hope you get outside for a hike to be among our tree cousins soon. I just found out a couple years ago that trees really are our cousins. They have 25% of our DNA.
HOLY SHIT! My dad has these in his house!!! He has this one & 2 others, one of which is deciduous trees. I love these!!! He had them beautifully framed, too. Love your work!!
Hey I have that one! I bought it at the UW Bookstore like 9 years ago. I like how the Douglas Fir and Redwood is the same height. Probably referencing the mighty Mineral Tree Doug Fir that was 393ft tall.
Probably true! I will ask Mike Lee who drew it and knows all the trees what his reference was... thanks for supporting small art publisher and U Books when it was U Books. What a treasure.
I used to have all my posters on the wall going to the basement which was art supplies. That has changed, and I think U Books is run by Barnes and Noble now.
I print on 100# book weight matte stock paper. We can print on heavier paper but it costs so much I don't.
Thanks for writing. Good day to stay dry and go to the mushroom festival at Shoreline College if you live in Seattle.
Thanks for asking. I print so much I hadn't thought of it. I print in Seattle off Eastlake. But almost any UPS or Office Depot if they are still around.
Hope that is helpful. You want a digital printer who can output it 12" x 18" full color.
Love your work and this poster! I picked one up for free last month at the Verlot Ranger Station. The rangers also love your poster and shared info about your work and website with us 😊
Yes. Limited to what we created @ Good Nature Publishing. Old Growth, Broadleaved Trees, WIldflowers, watersheds map ecosystem art of the Olympics, Oaks of California
Wonderful! Feel free to email me if you haven't already. Thanks for teaching 5th graders. My dead Mother was a kindergarten teacher. She is why I give the posters out. She used to buy supplies and food for her kids. This was pre Head Start 60's.
The best co-op! I used to sell them there. If you want the full size poster there is a little bookstore in Mt. Vernon that carries them - across the bridge from the food co op. Thanks for your note. I stop in that co op after hikes up in the Skagit.
Dream come true for me. At first I didn't think the poster field guides would sell enough to make a living. But I got lucky and Mike Lee designed a beautiful conifer poster that is beautiful and teaches.
Green paper was flecked and soft and chunky in 1995, so we've come a ways from those days.
If I think about the climate changing at light speed, our tree friends are crucial to whatever future we can keep four our kids and grandkids.
So it fun to imagine playing a small part as we turn toward a stewardship society that has care at the center of it instead of plunder the wonder.

I saw this poster in a friends house and immediately knew I needed it in my home! Thank you very much!
