I recommend the Audubon books, since they are the ones that are officially used to make the rules. They also have several photos of each stage in the year of deciduous trees (including the flowers and buds, fruit, and fall leaf color changes), along with fruit/cones for most trees.
That is what we used, but it came back to kick us in the butt at nats where we might have medaled if we had info about pests that eat the tree( for lack of a better term) by our side, and I just realized that I'm an idiot since we took some practice trees with pests and I didn't bother to do that with other trees :(

No Difference.

Only major change was that we now have 2 double-sided pages for both the notesheet and tree list, so we can customize the list in any way we please. =]
ornithology, forestry, entomology, triple E, green generation, water quality, dynamic planet (lakes & rivers), awesome aquifers, meteorology, robot arm, write it do it. :)

That is a change between last year's rules and this year's rules, not a difference between Div B and Div C.

After nats was over this year, I was inclined to make a practice forestry test. (what else would I do?)

TEST LINK HERE
Answer sheet here

I showed it to a few friends who took the test with much difficulty. It's about 40 minutes in length. I won't much more. You can read the quote below. There are extensive notes to all questions in the notes section of the powerpoint. If people think it's good enough maybe I'll upload it to scioly.org

This powerpoint tree test will be the best tree test you will have ever seen. Even better than pink lemonade on thursday nights... Anways, this test takes the form of a slide show with funky (that's right) questions and weird trivia too. It's a real piece of art and I am proud of it. Here are a few snipets (if you need any extra motivation to download :3) and the answer sheet, in case you actually wanted to take the test, in case you ever studied trees...

High quality test. Highly recommend. If you want you can leave FEEDBACK in the comments section below! If there's enough demand I'll make a second one! :D

Yup that's what I meant haha. My bad for being unclear.

By the way, in slide 26, question E, the answer has a typing error...it isn't difficult, but in fact easy, or some other synonym...
