The scenic images that Louisiana brings to mind -- moss-draped
cypress, lush marshlands, alligators gliding through bayous, herons
coasting across an open sky -- all spring from one of the most
diverse and productive ecosystems on the continent. This varied and
inviting landscape gives rise to one of the state's many monikers,
""Sportsman's Paradise,"" which rings true whether you are boating
on picturesque Lake Martin or bird-watching among the ancient live
oaks of Lafitte Woods. From the precious maritime forests of Grand
Isle to the steep contours of Tunica Hills, Louisiana's wild
outdoors defines each region's sense of place and value. For nearly
thirty years, The Nature Conservancy in Louisiana has served as a
steward of these ecological riches, protecting and maintaining more
than 285,000 acres of the state's land. Now, for the first time,
readers can observe the vast array of flora and fauna found in
these complex habitats in Louisiana Wild, with the awe-inspiring
photography of C. C. Lockwood. After trekking and canoeing through
more than sixty properties managed by The Nature Conservancy,
Lockwood presents a vivid photo narrative that journeys from the
little-known Copenhagen Hills, a prairie habitat with the largest
variety of woody plants in Louisiana; to the swampland lake of
Cypress Island, with its massive rookery of roseate spoonbills and
great egrets; to over a dozen other sites that showcase Louisiana's
distinct environs. With 220 color images, Louisiana Wild pays
homage to the immeasurable impact of The Nature Conservancy's
efforts and will delight anyone who calls Louisiana home.
