To provide a lasting resource, Notice Nature, in partnership with EcoFriendly West, have developed a set of guidebooks providing background information and tools for identifying some of Saskatchewan's most common birds, plants, insects, mammals, reptiles, and more!

The information in the Plants, Trees & Shrubs, Birds, Insects & Spiders, Mammals, and Reptiles & Amphibians guidebooks has been extracted from/based on Nature Companion, an entry-level nature website and app for Canada's four western provinces. The free website and app were developed by EcoFriendly West and introduce over 300 trees, plants, insects, reptiles, animals, and birds found in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. It provides short, easy-to-understand descriptions and colourful photographs.
