Six miles north of the city of Ithaca, high on the west side of Cayuga Lake, the longest of New Yorks fabled Finger Lakes, is Cayuga Nature Center. Originally built in 1939 as a country refuge for children exposed to tuberculosis, the CNC is today a popular activities center and respected authority on the natural resources of the Region. This volume summarizes the varied flora, fauna, and other natural wonders of the land preserved at the CNC, much of which applies to northern and central New York State. Over three-hundred species or varieties of plants, animals, insects, snails, fossils, & others are described and illustrated in full color.

Field Guide to the Cayuga Lake Region

<p>The Cayuga Lake region abounds with a great diversity of plant and animal species. Many of these are commonly encountered during outdoor adventures in this beautiful area of Central New York. Native species that have made this region their home for thousands of years intermingle with recently introduced "alien" invaders from other parts of the world, all contributing to the modern ecology of the woods, fields, streams, and gorges that surround Cayuga Lake. This book will help you to identify and learn more about over 300 of these species-including fungi, plants, and animals-as well as commonly encountered fossil remains of organisms that lived in a sea that covered this region 370 million years ago.</p>
