This Land: A Guide to Eastern National Forests, published in June 2006, is a comprehensive field guide to the natural features, wildernesses, scenic drives, campgrounds, and hiking trails within the Eastern United States National Forests. This volume, part of a projected three-volume series, details all 155 national forests across a wide geographic scope, including states from Alabama to Wisconsin, as well as Puerto Rico. The guide provides essential entry information for each forest, such as size, location, facilities, and attractions, complemented by sidebars on biological or geological highlights drawn from the "This Land" column in Natural History magazine. Its clear writing style and inclusion of color photographs, botanical drawings, and maps make it an accessible resource for exploring these protected natural areas.
This manual serves as an authoritative reference for understanding and appreciating the Eastern National Forests. It is designed to assist users in planning visits, identifying key features, and learning about the unique natural and geological aspects of each forest. The content is structured to be easily navigable, ensuring that readers can quickly find the information they need regarding the diverse landscapes and recreational opportunities available. The publication aims to provide a thorough overview of the designated areas, enhancing the experience for anyone interested in the natural heritage of the Eastern United States.
Part armchair travelogue, part guide book, this projected three-volume series-divided into the western, central, and eastern United States-will introduce readers to all 155 national forests across the country. This Land is the only comprehensive field guide that describes the natural features, wildernesses, scenic drives, campgrounds, and hiking trails of our national forests, many of which-while little known and sparsely visited-boast features as spectacular as those found in our national parks and monuments. Each entry includes logistical information about size and location, facilities, attractions, and associated wilderness areas. For about half of the forests, Robert H. Mohlenbrock has provided sidebars on the biological or geological highlights, drawn from the "This Land" column that he has written for Natural History magazine since 1984.
Superbly illustrated with color photographs, botanical drawings, and maps, this book is loaded with information, clearly written, and easy to use.
