Award-winning naturalist, environmental educator, and author/illustrator of The Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada, John (Jack) Muir Laws has spent countless days backpacking the Sierra, observing the fascinating behavior, adaptations, and interactions between species.

Whether you're a botanist, birder, or backpacker, come discover the subtle and essential threads, which connect species.
