About the author

I am a nature/outdoors lover born in NJ and transplanted to FL and ME. As a child I loved riding my horse on the well-developed trails in the Watchung Reservation. As an adult I learned about the benefits of exercise and endorphins. I am outside walking or paddling as often as possible.

Do you like the outdoors? Do you live in Southwest Florida? Would you like to learn some Florida history—see some of Florida’s flora and fauna? Buy this book and explore the trails and waterways described by the author.

A section on Florida spiders (with photos) is included in the book. The spiders are contributed by Janet Bunch who volunteers for Lee County Parks & Recreation, and leads guided nature walks at Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve and various Conservation 20/20 parks.

If you are a nature-lover, this is a guide to the best places on Florida’s Gulf Coast—Lee and Collier counties. Enjoy.
