Description

This illuminating and instructive book explores New Hampshire’s stunning mosaic of natural communities. In photos, drawings, and accessible text, The Nature of New Hampshire takes you on a tour of landscapes as varied as alpine meadows, tidal marshes, riverbanks, forests, ponds, dunes, and cliffs. Readers will gain a new understanding and appreciation for the state’s exceptional natural heritage. Natural communities are recurring associations of plants and animals found in particular physical environments. They’re the dynamic habitats through which native species live. In response to more than twenty years of ecological research, the New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau developed the classification of the nearly 200 natural community types presented on this very important guide. The communities are organized into eight categories: alpine and subalpine, rocky ground, forests, peatlands, swamps, marshes, river channels and floodplains, and seacoast.

With gorgeous photographs, informative text, and beneficial places to consult with, The Nature of New Hampshire provides crucial common language for conservation planning and informed land stewardship. Whether used as a field guide or an at-home resource, this book will lend a hand readers reconnect with their surroundings, and be mindful the places they value.
