Before you buy
Who this is for
Made for
- People who keep a record and want the reference already on the page
- Teachers and parents doing a year of nature with a child
- Anyone who prefers paper to another app
Not for
- Anyone wanting a dated planner — these pages are deliberately undated so you can print them again next year
Everything here describes typical timing across Nevada, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the Nevada pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.
Where it comes from
Compiled from
USGS Breeding Bird Survey · State fish & wildlife agencies · USA National Phenology Network · Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center · Cooperative Extension (land-grant directory) · International Meteor Organization. How each of these is used in the Nevada edition, and which figures are measured rather than modeled, is set out in the methodology.
Questions
Before you decide
Is this specific to Nevada, or a national guide with the name swapped in?
It is built from Nevada's own data. Each month's reference side is written from Nevada's data for that month, not a national average.
Nevada spans several hardiness zones — which one does this cover?
All of them. Nevada runs 4a–9b, and the guide carries each zone's timing rather than picking one and hoping it fits your garden.
How accurate is the timing for Nevada?
It describes typical timing across Nevada drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real Nevada dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".
Is it worth paying when the Nevada pages here are free?
The free Nevada pages are the month you are in; this is the whole Nevada year, planned before it arrives and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.
Will it work for my part of Nevada, or just the big cities?
It is written at state resolution — Nevada as a whole, with regional notes where Nevada genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.
What format is the Nevada edition, and can I print it?
A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet — printing it is the point, since the Nevada pages are made to be carried outside.
What if the Nevada guide is not what I expected?
Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the Nevada edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.
