The Forest That Fire Made: An Introduction To The Longleaf Pine Forest (Wormsloe Foundation Nature Books) - 9780820363592

The Forest that Fire Made is a naturalist guide intended for a general readership. Although longleaf pine forests were often called pine barrens" by early explorers and colonists, McGuire, Denhof, and Levan reveal that these forests were far from barren. In fact, this booming forest was home to thousands of unique plant and animal species. Covering a wide range of topics, such as the anatomy of the Longleaf tree, its history (and revival), and the surrounding fauna and foliage, the authors provide the general reader with a strong understanding of a forest that used to stretch as far as the eye could see. The authors claim that although the remnants of this once great longleaf pine forest exist, they are often just a reminder of its former majesty, only recognizable to the informed observer. Thus, The Forest that Fire Made is dedicated to introducing the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts to many of the unique animals and plants that their grandparents would have known"--
