Reading Nature in the Kawarthas will whet the appetite of any budding naturalist and it also serves as a great trip planner with helpful maps and a detailed listing of nature reserves, public parks and trails, along with conservation areas and canoe routes.
It is a wonderful alternative to the traditional field guide because it covers the flora and fauna that can be seen in this area. Lavishly illustrated with wonderful colour photographs that can be appreciated by young and old alike and would be a useful addition to any naturalists collection.
