The North American prairie extends across eighteen states and provinces in the heartland of the United States and Canada, and many prairie preserves are an easy drive from large cities. This new field guide by two well-known prairie experts provides detailed profiles of 48 major North American prairie preserves and capsule descriptions of 120 smaller preserves.
Each preserve profile includes practical information on what times of year to visit, how to get there, where to go hiking and camping—and even boating. Profiles also include information on the weather, wildlife, plants, and natural history of the preserves. More than 250 stunning color photos illustrate everything from scarab dung beetles and orchids to bison wallows and hailstorms. Whether readers live in the prairie region or are planning a trip there, this useful, informative guide will enrich their prairie experience.
