From the field guides.
Adirondack Gardening.
Hardiness zones across the Park, deer-resistant perennials that actually work, native trees worth planting, the vegetables that produce in a 90-day growing season, a beginner's first-year garden, and a region-by-region zone atlas.
Wildlife Watching.
Common loons on every paddleable lake, moose at dusk in the Whitney Wilderness, bald eagles year-round on open water, and the spring warbler migration through Bloomingdale Bog — where to look, when to look, and what to bring.
