In this fascinating guide to the roadside ecology of the major highways in B.C., you’ll discover a whole new dimension to taking a car trip. Each chapter covers one highway in the province, including an overview of the highway and then giving a detailed description of the landforms, vegetation and animal life along each section of the road. Sidebars tell stories about various species, and full-colour photographs and black-and-white drawings illustrate the numerous plants and animals that make their homes along the roadsides of British Columbia. In addition, the book offers suggestions for where to stop and look for crayfish, enjoy a swim in summer or have a picnic lunch during your travels. An appendix provides a brief field guide of tree silhouettes and hints for identifying trees and shrubs.
