Trail Guide to the South Fork - With a Natural History (Paperback)

Here it is! The first comprehensive guide to trails of the South Fork of Long Island. Mike Bottini not only helped to blaze these 44 trails, for more than four years he has been describing them in his column in the Southampton Press. "South Fork Outdoors, " which served as the basis for this book, won the award for best outdoors column from the New York Press Association in 2002. An accomplished naturalist, Mike offers a vivid picture of the local ecologies of the trails. From seashore to oak/pine woods, from salt water wetlands to freshwater ponds and kettleholes, Mike describes the unique natural history of the remarkably diverse South Fork environments. Even if you are only an armchair nature-lover, you'll find this book enormously informative.
