A Field Guide to the Plants of the Boise Foothills

This guide was developed to assist foothills users and residents to identify the more common native and nonnative plants in this area. It does not include all of the plant species found in the foothills, and it does not include plants growing along streams or in wetland areas. However, you will find useful Information on plants that are native to Idaho, important to wildlife and insects, rare, flammable, and noxious weeds to watch out for.
