Ever wonder how porcupines procreate? Where you can best see the northern lights? How many fireflies it takes to equal the light of a 40-watt bulb? The answers-and much, much more-are in this fascinating, indispensable guide to America's Great North Woods.
The Wild Woods Guide is the perfect introduction and companion to one of the world's largest and most beautiful forest regions. Filled with helpful and often little-known information about the plants, animals, rocks, and other natural phenomena encountered in the swathe of forest that stretches from Minnesota to Maine, this guidebook is almost as fun and interesting as actually going out into the woods yourself.
Whether you're an occasional hiker or a seasoned woodsperson, this entertaining collection of facts and tore will prove as useful to pack as it is wonderful to read.
Veteran birders, canoers, and campers, Doug Bennet and Tim Tiner are the authors of the bestselling guidebooks to Ontario's wilderness, Up North and Up North Again. They are members of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists and live in Toronto with their families.

Doug Bennet heads to the woods throughout the year for long weekends or extended canoe trips. For the past 12 years he has been a magazine editor, most recently at the Canadian Home Workshop, which was named Magazine of the Year by the Canadian Society of Magazine Editors (1998) and also won its first National Magazine Gold Award during his tenure. He is a member of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. He lives with his wife Nancy and their two children in Toronto.
Tim Tiner spends as much time outdoors as possible, regularly venturing on birding expeditions, nature walks, and canoe-camping trips. He currently writes freelance and is a contributing writer to Toronto’s weekly Now magazine, where he covers the environmental beat and prepares the weekly almanac of natural events. He also writes features and the “Nature Scrapbook” column for the award-winning Cottage Life magazine. Tim lives in Toronto with his wife Ellie.
