The history and importance of an often overlooked and underappreciated landscape, the Pine Barrens of Wisconsin. Prior to reading this book I had never even heard of this area. This area is completely unique to North America and efforts are finally being made to maintain it and restore it to protect the fragile ecosystem and wildlife that lives there. Dave Peter does a great job describing the landscape, it's importance, early inhabitants, the fight to preserve it, and beauty of the area. There are many pictures to help illustrate his points. A small and important read. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"While many people are familiar with the pristine and federally protected Namekagon and St. Croix Rivers of northwestern Wisconsin, few know much about the Namekagon Barrens, a rare pine and oak barrens landscape within a mile or two of those rivers. A tiny remnant of the millions of barrens acres that once covered Wisconsin, the Namekagon Barrens Wildlife Area lies in the heart of the state's Northwest Sands. Unfathomable amounts of glacial sand and repeated fires over thousands of years shaped a land of scrub oak and jack pine, blueberries and sweet fern, wolves and sharp-tailed grouse. But more compelling is the land's surprisingly rich in history, from late Paleo-Indian hunters to Ojibwe people making their seasonal rounds, from loggers to early road builders, from immigrants whose farming efforts failed to the wildlife habitat specialists who manage it today. The book sets the land's unusual natural history as the backdrop for its dynamic human history"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
