Old-growth forests touch the soul of many people. Some hear the echoes of Native Americans or the first settlers. Some feel the great age of the trees and revere them, while others feel they are in the presence of an overwhelmingly rare beauty. Still others understand the profound scientific value of old-growth forests as reference systems for what forests can be. Despite the remarkable emotional appeal and scientific value of old-growth forests, they are rare in Wisconsin. Only 0.3% of Wisconsin¿s old-growth forests remain, but these scattered, small parcels still retain their ability to amaze hikers with their size, beauty, and elegance. Where are they? This book directs visitors to the 50 best old-growth sites left in Wisconsin. Each site has clear directions, a listing of ownership, size, and age, and a description of its ecological features, with perhaps a story of why it was saved. A map and photo(s) illustrates each site. An additional shorter chapter includes the ¿50 Best-of-the-Rest.¿The book is for a general audience, but its wealth of rigorously-researched and profusely-illustrated data may also serve as a general reference for professional ecologists and conservationists.

Photographer Jeff Richter is a long-practiced observer of nature who sees through the lens of his camera and brings both immense technical skills and an abiding love of the northwoods to his work. As a result, Seasons of the North is an all-encompassing journal. Richter's photographs reveal the audacious declarations of wild cherry blossoms in late spring, the solitary, purposeful stalking of the gray wolf, the brooding, cloud-choked aftermath of a summer storm, the frenzied festival of fall foliage, and the austere decorations of snow and ice in winter.This collection of photographs, Richter's first in book form, is a testament to one man's patience, appreciation, and reverence--and his ability to convey the beauty of each season to those who share his appreciation.Noted Wisconsin naturalist writers have contributed essays on the seasons: John Bates on the agonies and ecstacies of northern spring "If Fish Could Sing"; Justin Isherwood on the irresistable lure of water in summer "A Canoe-Shaped Soul"; Chad McGrath on the sensuous delights of fall "The Siren's Song"; and Terry Daulton on winter's stark beauty "Just Beyond the Doorstep".
