Description

Includes directions and information for thirty-seven of Louisiana’s easily accessible natural parks and wetlands.

Louisiana’s wonderful wetlands, coastal marshes, and swamps have meant much to different visitors through the years–sustenance for fisherman and trappers, food supplies for hunters, inspiration for artists and writers, hideouts for hermits and pirates, unbroken solitude for weary souls and assorted dreamers clinging to a vanishing way of living.

But these wonderful wild spots are so fragile, and annually brings the loss of more of them. We have been so careless about our environment up to now, so sure our natural resources would last perpetually. Now we know better.

Noted photographer Henry Cancienne has a passion for preserving our unique natural environments through his spectacular images, and in this book he shares some of his favorite walking trails and drives, most free and easily accessible by means of raised boardwalks and well-maintained paths. Significant spawning/nesting/breeding grounds and vital habitats for natural world, including quite a few endangered species, these wetlands and wildernesses are themselves in danger of vanishing as well. Visit them whilst you’ll be able to.
