Walks in Nature’s Empire
Exploring the Nature Conservancy’s Preserves in New York State
Walks in Nature’s Empire presents the natural and human histories of 35 Nature Conservancy preserves across New York State, from Montauk Point to French Creek, from Gadway Sandstone Pavement Barrens north of the Adirondacks to the Neversink River in the south. In these pages, poet and conservationist Scott Edward Anderson describes their trails, the species that live within the preserves, their biological significance, and some of the interesting people who have lived on these lands and waters.
