Sweeping from Toronto to Lake Huron and Lake Erie is a region of biological richness unmatched in Canada. Here the native trees have unusual names - Sassafras, Cucumber Magnolias, Tulip-tree, Pawpaw - evoking the distinctly southern character for which the region is named.

With more than 100 beautiful colour photographs from dozens of communities in the Niagara Escarpment, this book will be savoured by all those who treasure this precious landscape.
