A Naturalist's Guide to the Southern Palisades
By Nancy Slowik
This handy field guide is a must-have for any Palisades hiker who is curious about the wildlife she or he will find along the trails. Five guided hike descriptions (four in the NJ Section, the fifth in Tallman Mountain State Park), accompanied by maps and color photographs, fill the first half of the book. The second half is a field guide to the more common plant species encountered, including dozens of color photographs to help in identification, as well as a full-length pull-out map at the end of the book.
Nancy Slowik is the Naturalist-Director of Greenbrook Sanctuary on the Palisades.
A Naturalist's Guide to the Southern Palisades is available for purchase at State Line Lookout, Park Headquarters, the Kearney House, at Greenbrook Sanctuary, and through Amazon.
