How the Wyoming year breaks down

Counted, not claimed

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

Something in the Wyoming list is in bloom from March through October, and June is the peak — 24 of the 37 species are flowering then.

8 of them are caterpillar host plants and 9 support specialist bees — the ones that do the most work in Wyoming yards.

On the 2027 numbers the standout for Wyoming is the Quadrantids — about 120 an hour at its peak with the moon only 18% lit, best after midnight into dawn.

The Geminids, by contrast, peak against a 100%-lit moon that year — the kind of night the guide tells you to skip rather than let you find out at 2am.

The calendar runs every major shower of the year — 12 of them — with the moon's brightness worked out for each peak, so Wyoming knows which nights are worth the drive.

Before you buy

Who this is for

Made for

  • Someone starting from nothing who wants the Wyoming basics in one go
  • Gardeners in Wyoming who also go out after dark
  • Anyone giving the whole Wyoming set rather than a single file

Not for

  • Anyone who already owns one of the three Wyoming editions in it — buy the rest singly instead
  • Anyone who wants the Wyoming Nature Year; that is the bigger book, sold on its own page

Everything here describes typical timing across Wyoming, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the Wyoming 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 Wyoming set?

Three things, sold separately elsewhere on the site: The Wyoming Nature Journal, Native Plants of Wyoming and The Night Sky over Wyoming. You get every file each of them contains.

What if I already own one of these Wyoming editions?

Then buy the others on their own — the Wyoming set only saves money if all of it is new to you, and we would rather say so than take $29.00 for a file you already have.

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

Yes — $29.00 rather than $33.98, a saving of $4.98. There is no cart here, so buying them apart also means checking out 3 separate times.

Do the Wyoming files arrive together?

They arrive as one download list on one page — 3 files in all for Wyoming, each downloadable on its own, and the link re-opens for 72 hours.

How accurate is the timing for Wyoming?

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

Is it worth paying when the Wyoming pages here are free?

The free Wyoming pages are the month you are in; these are the Wyoming 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 Wyoming, or just the big cities?

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

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

What if the Wyoming set is not what I expected?

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

Everything in this set is also sold on its own — The Wyoming Nature Journal, Native Plants of Wyoming and The Night Sky over Wyoming — and the free Wyoming pages cover this month either way.
