Wild South Carolina (2016)
A Field Guide to Parks, Preserves and Special Places
South Carolina is home to an extraordinary diversity of landscapes, from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Atlantic barrier islands. Co-authored with Susan Hamilton, Wild South Carolina explores 38 of the state's most remarkable parks, wildlife refuges, heritage preserves, and other public lands, highlighting where and when to experience its richest displays of plants, wildlife, and natural history.
Discover synchronized fireflies at Congaree National Park, rocky shoals spider lilies blooming along the Catawba River, peregrine falcons soaring above the ACE Basin, rare Oconee bells in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the world's oldest cypress-tupelo forest. Illustrated with more than 150 color photographs, Wild South Carolina invites readers to hike, paddle, bike, and explore the remarkable natural places that make the Palmetto State unique.
“South Carolina has been called a land rich state. For such a small area, it encompasses ecological treasures from the mountains to the sea that belie its areal limitations. Here in Wild South Carolina, we are witness to the wonders packed into the Palmetto State! Read and wander wildly! ”
