Hidden within five caves in a narrow side canyon of the Gila River are structural remains left by people of the Mogollon culture more than 700 years ago. These stone and mortar dwellings, preserved at Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument in New Mexico, are an enduring reminder of their resourceful community. The vast Gila Wilderness of southwestern New Mexico is the first such area to be set aside by Congress. Photos by the author.

Field Guide to the Trees of the Gila Region of New Mexico is the definitive guide for field botanists, researchers, students, and avid nature lovers who wish to explore the natural history of native and introduced tree species across the Gila. The book documents over seventy-five tree species in the first wilderness area in the United States—and the largest in New Mexico—known for its wildness, remoteness, and significant recreation opportunities. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the authors feature detailed individual species accounts and special ecological and ethnobotanical information, providing full dichotomous keys to the families, genera, and species of all trees in the region. Color photographs of the species provide diagnostic clarity for easy identification, showing the whole tree, trunk, and foliage as well as macro photos of the flowers, fruits, or cones and other significant features. This comprehensive and user-friendly guide will be welcomed by residents and visitors studying and discovering the diverse trees of the Gila Region.
