How the West Virginia year breaks down

Counted, not claimed

Something in the West Virginia list is in bloom from March through October, and June is the peak — 20 of the 45 species are flowering then.

13 of them are caterpillar host plants and 14 support specialist bees — the ones that do the most work in West Virginia yards.

Across the twelve West Virginia month pages the reference side draws on 6 wildflowers, 6 trees, 6 butterflies and 7 things coming into season locally.

Before you buy

Who this is for

Made for

  • Someone who wants the whole West Virginia year and somewhere to record it
  • Anyone buying the West Virginia Nature Year who would have come back for the journal anyway
  • Households where more than one person in West Virginia goes outside

Not for

  • Anyone who only wants to read West Virginia month by month — the free West Virginia pages already do that
  • Anyone who does not print; most of what is here is made for paper

Everything here describes typical timing across West Virginia, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the West Virginia pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.

Questions

Before you decide

What exactly is in the West Virginia set?

West Virginia Nature Year 2027 and The West Virginia Nature Journal — every file each of them contains.

What if I already own one of these West Virginia editions?

Then buy the others on their own — the West Virginia set only saves money if all of it is new to you, and we would rather say so than take $42.00 for a file you already have.

Is this cheaper than buying the West Virginia editions one at a time?

Yes — $42.00 rather than $48.00, a saving of $6.00. There is no cart here, so buying them apart also means checking out 2 separate times.

Do the West Virginia files arrive together?

They arrive as one download list on one page — 12 files in all for West Virginia, each downloadable on its own, and the link re-opens for 72 hours.

How accurate is the timing for West Virginia?

It describes typical timing across West Virginia drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real West Virginia dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".

Is it worth paying when the West Virginia pages here are free?

The free West Virginia pages are the month you are in; these are the West Virginia editions around them — planned before the year arrives, and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.

Will it work for my part of West Virginia, or just the big cities?

It is written at state resolution — West Virginia as a whole, with regional notes where West Virginia genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.

What format is the West Virginia 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 West Virginia pages are made to be carried outside.

What if the West Virginia set is not what I expected?

Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the West Virginia edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.

Everything in this set is also sold on its own — West Virginia Nature Year 2027 and The West Virginia Nature Journal — and the free West Virginia pages cover this month either way.
