A Guide to Natural Areas of Northern Indiana

"

Get outside and into the amazing places Steven has selected. This book is meant to be marked with your observations and questions, to be dog-eared, mud-stained, sweat-stained, well-worn. You are holding a guide, a prompt, an invitation to explore the splendors of our northern Indiana natural areas, teaming with life.

Steve's guides to the natural areas of Indiana are always thoroughly researched and thoughtfully presented. I look forward to having his guide to northern Indiana with me on my next visit to that area of the state.

"As someone who has spent nearly a decade of my career managing some of northern Indiana's most beautiful natural areas for The Nature Conservancy, it is truly a pleasure to flip through the pages of Steven Higgs' latest book, A Guide to Natural Areas of Northern Indiana. In addition to giving interesting background, detailed directions, and a brief history for each of the sites, the book celebrates the people and organizations whose vision and dedication are responsible for preserving these incredible pieces of Indiana's natural history for future generations to enjoy. This is a book that anyone who enjoys hiking, camping, or exploring the outdoors will cherish."
