Description

Coming in 2012, the Guide to the Natural Environments of Georgia is a comprehensive overview of the biological and ecological diversity of the state. It will provide an enhanced understanding and appreciation of the tremendous natural diversity of Georgia, and it will explore the many conservation challenges that must be addressed to sustain our natural heritage. This fact filled guide will appeal to a wide array of conservationists, educators, and researchers as well as outdoor enthusiasts and amateur naturalists.

Major funding for this project was provided by the AGL Resources Foundation. Additional funding was provided by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division. In-kind support was provided by the Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center at Ichauway.
