About this title

From the Publisher

Travelers and today's ecotourists often overlook our National Wildlife Refuge system in favor of other larger, government-managed parks and monuments. Visitation to these refuge habitats is thus lighter, allowing nature lovers a good measure of peace and an unusual opportunity to observe wildlife in a relatively undisturbed environment. Western National Wildlife Refuges provides a unique and useful guide to these national treasures. Author Dennis Wall has observed and recorded, throughout the year, the migratory patterns of birds and seasons for flowers, the best areas for observing particular flora and fauna, and the trail systems in each park, and the impact of man's presence on the ecosystem, highlighting each refuge's natural wonders and unique character. This guide is brimming with necessary information wonderfully combined with a naturalist's love of wildlife and keen photographic eye. The sum of Western National Wildlife Refuges is a magnificent tour of each sanctuary, with everything necessary to plan a nature trip.
