4.0 out of 5 stars The Real Florida!, October 9, 2000

This review is from: The Nature of Florida (Paperback)

John Perry loves the wild lands,this is evident in this book. He encourages us to see them for ourselves. Behind the glitter and neon of the tourist areas of Florida there are places of wonder to explore. Here you will find the real Florida,the subtropical natural world that is quickly disappearing in the face of over development.The book is divided into four Zones under which individual entries are listed. Chuck Geanangel, a Florida birder and environmentalist, lists the common birds of that Zone.The Perrys list all accessible wild areas within the Zone and include information on park hours, available camping, wildlife, etc. There are symbols to aid in quickly finding a camp ground, backpacking trail, horse trail, boat launch or the Florida Trail,along with other hiking trails.This is a guide you will treasure whether you live in Florida, visit the state as a tourist, camp, bird watch or just plain love the wilder side of Florida.
