Compiled by a team from the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission with a foreword by Wendell Berry, this large-format volume catalogs the state’s biologically diverse patchwork of swamps, forests, glades, and caves, from black-throated green warblers to rare aquatic species like the salamander mussel.
More than 250 color photos, maps, and charts illustrate entries from over fifteen of the Commonwealth’s naturalists, making the case for conserving ecosystems that hold some of the greatest freshwater biodiversity on the planet.
