Book Cover

Sample Two-Page Spread Showing Birds of the Mixed Hardwood and Softwood Plant Community

This natural history field guide is a full color, richly illustrated book, designed to be user friendly and non-technical. Tug Hill plant communities form the structure of this sampler of the plants, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and even insects found in the region. The book is divided into four parts: an introduction containing general information about the region, uplands, lowlands, and an appendix. Each of the ten chapters covers a prevalent plant community and consists of a narrative, illustrations, and Facts, Tips, and Lore - a potpourri of interesting facts and information on species likely to be found in the plant community. There is a color-coded edge band and symbol key for quick guidance to the contents. The appendix includes a species list and bibliography.
