Alberta spans over 660,000 square kilometres of land and six distinct Natural Regions: Boreal, Canadian Shield, Foothills, Grassland, Parkland, and Rocky Mountain. It is home to 100 mammal species, over 400 birds, and more than 2600 plants. Nature abounds in the Wild Rose province, and it is a privilege to peer into the fascinating lives of Alberta's flora and fauna. You can do so with the Alberta Nature Set, which includes Alberta Birds, Alberta Trees & Wildflowers, and Alberta Wildlife. Each of these beautifully illustrated guides features a collection of 140 common and familiar species as well as an ecoregion map of over 20 nature hotspots. Laminated for durability, these pocket folding guides are portable companions that accompany educators, learners, naturalists, and nature enthusiasts on their explorations of Alberta's natural diversity.

In addition to creating over 500 simplified nature guides, he has also authored guides to languages, cities and outdoor skills. An avid traveler and backpacker, Kavanagh's path has taken him around the world to many remote destinations including the upper Amazon, Africa, Australia, and the Arctic Circle (and this is just the As). He is also the author of a series of state-specific guides to common species and natural attractions and a children's book on evolution.
