Willows of Southcentral Alaska

At the time of first publishing, Willows of Southcentral Alaska was made available in online PDF format. To help maintain public access to this awesome resource, we’ve re-hosted that content below. Please note, however, that this is the 2002 version of the willow guide; digital copies of the 2nd (2009) edition are not available at this time, but physical copies are available through online ordering or at our office.
