Walks in Nature's Empire

Exploring The Nature Conservancy's Preserves in New York State

Scott Edward Anderson

Walks in Nature's Empire guides you through some of the Empire State's loveliest and most ecologically important sites. Author Scott Edward Anderson, a poet and Conservancy development director, has carefully selected 35 preserves representative of the state's natural diversity. In these pages he describes their trails, the species that live within them, their biological significance, and the joy that can be derived from visiting them.

"A much-needed guide, providing not only the what but the why of New York's many natural attractions-and a welcome background on The Nature Conservancy's invaluable work. I can't wait to start walking."
—John Jerome, author of Stone Work

"New York State is one of the nation's best-kept secrets, and Scott Anderson provides a wonderful treasure map. Enjoy it mightily."
—Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature
