This review is from: In a Wild Place: A Natural History of High Ledges (Paperback)

This book is for any nature lover, even if they have never been to the High Ledges Wildlife Sanctuary. Dr. Barnard has lived on and loved this land for decades and it shows! Furthermore, the wood-cut illustrations are beautiful.
