Description

A guide to identifying the wide variety of animal and plant life found in the freshwater wetlands of the United States. Each organism is profiled by a pen and ink sketch and a description of its characteristics, range, and habitat. A colorful, informative account follows to enhance awareness and appreciation of the species that inhabit our bogs, swamps, and marshes. The text treats the plant kingdom from lichens to trees and the animal kingdom from insects to mammals.
