Choosing
Which Nebraska edition do you want?
- If you want one thing that covers the whole Nebraska year
- The Nature Year is the book plus the posters, the sky calendar, the life list and a weekly note — everything the site knows about Nebraska in one purchase, which is why it costs what the others cost together.
- If you want to keep your own record
- The journal gives each month a reference side built from Nebraska data and a blank side that stays yours. Undated, so you print it again next year.
- If the birds are the reason you go outside
- The birding guide profiles the 24 species most consistently recorded in Nebraska, with a month-by-month presence chart and a life list.
- If you are planting something this year
- The native plants guide covers 48 species for hardiness zones 4a–6b, with bloom windows and what each one feeds.
- If you would drive somewhere dark
- The night sky guide names Nebraska's 4 darkest places and works the moon into every meteor peak, so you know which nights repay the trip.
