Discovering the Forest: Sandhills Forest Life in North and South Carolina (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595351046)

"Some people who go into the woods expect to see animals fighting or catching prey, females nursing their young...The truth is, our woods are quiet places, but take a little time and patience, and you will discover an absorbing world, full of myriad small happenings."

In Adventures in the Woods, Charlotte Gantz takes youngsters by the hand and leads them on an adventure through the Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve and the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge, among others--favorite destinations for thousands of students and families. Exploring the fascinating life of the forest with stories, questions, and answers on the importance of fire, hidden mammals, bird sounds, insect activity, the glory of mushrooms, geologic history, and more, this family-oriented journey of discovery provides an understanding and appreciation of a world teeming with life unknown to many.
