Great book for those that want to get out and hike in nearby parks and preserves.

For more than twenty years beginning in the late 1960s, naturalist Kaye Anderson roamed the hills and valleys of Westchester and Fairfield Counties (in NY State and Connecticut, respectively), scrutinizing every thing that lived and grew. She had a keen eye, a warm heart, and a devotion to sharing her wealth of knowledge with anyone who showed an interest. She died much too young, in 1988. But in this book, revised and expanded by naturalist Peggy Turco, Kaye lives on, still leading those who make the effort to follow her along her favorite woodland paths. For all who explore the wild nooks of these suburban counties, this is the walking guide non pareil.
