Wild Island: Prince Edward Island's Hidden Wilderness Book

Whether it is a long walk down a deserted beach, the discovery of spring wildflowers on the forest floor, or the sight of a bald eagle soaring above his canoe, it is the experience of wild things that brings peace, wonder, and inspiration to John Sylvester's work and life.On an Island aptly called "The Million-Acre Farm," the challenge in creating this book is that so many of Prince Edward Islandâ??s â??wild thingsâ? have disappeared. Now Wild Island gathers together these fragments and presents a picture of Prince Edward Island as Sylvester imagines it might have appeared before permanent settlement.This is not a guidebook to natural areas, but a portrait of the diversity and beauty of what remains. This book will inspire readers to explore Prince Edward Islandâ??s natural areas for themselves and support the cause of natural areas conservation. This book is an attempt to save and protect the â??wild thingsâ? that are left.A portion of the royalties are being donated to The Island Nature Trust, a conservation group that for thirty years has worked tirelessly to protect the Islandâ??s remaining natural communities.Read More
