Exploring Wild South Florida: A Guide to Finding the Natural Areas and Wildlife of the Everglades and Florida Keys

Rating:
Summary: Comprehensive guidebook for South Florida's natural areas
Review: Wild South Florida does a pretty good job of describing the area for people planning to visit the Everglades or nearby regions. The author provides a comprehensive listing of national, state, and city parks that would interest anyone who loves the outdoors.

The author starts out by describing the different types of wild environments in South Florida and the wildlife that inhabit these places. A nice 16-page color picture section is included.

The information included for each area covers how to get to each park (the book also contains a map), how much certain places cost, and most importantly, the plant and animal life found there.

My one complaint is that, while the book covers the Florida Keys, it does not do it in as good of detail as it does mainland South Florida.

I found the book to be quite useful during my trip through the Everglades
