Michigan Natural Features Inventory’s natural community classification has been the basis for ecosystem-level conservation in Michigan for well over a decade. Our state has an incredibly diverse landscape of forests, prairies, wetlands, sand dunes, bedrock, and Great Lakes shoreline. This field guide is an essential reference for anyone wanting to understand the natural communities of Michigan. —Glenn Palmgren, Ecologist, Michigan Department of Natural Resources
