Wisconsin's Natural Communities,
This review is from: Wisconsin's Natural Communities: How to Recognize Them, Where to Find Them (Paperback)
For almost 30 years I have longed to be capable of "reading the landscape," to comprehend what I see and understand how it came to be where it is today. At this point, I am fluent only in the passages of my own neighborhood, but Randy Hoffman's book offers a good opportunity for me-or you-to learn to read the land beyond the immediate horizon. Hoffman's interpretational guide defines 33 of our state's natural communities by their attendant trees, beetles, fish, lichens, butterflies, reptiles, mammals and flowers. To round out the picture, he superimposes the effects of geology, climate and history on each of these ecosystems. He goes on to profile 50 areas you can visit that are the best examples of our natural communities.
My husband and I have used this book as a reference in restoring native plant landscapes. The book also provides lesson plans for teachers. How could you be a landscaper, teacher, or tourist in Wisconsin without this book? |
