Southern Appalachian celebration : in praise of ancient mountains, old-growth forests, & wilderness / James Valentine ; with text by Chris Bolgiano and foreword by William H. Meadows.

Valentine, James. (Author). Bolgiano, Chris. (Added Author).

Summary:

Over four decades, Valentine has hiked hundreds of miles across mountainous parts of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia to photograph some of the last remnants of original forest. These scarce and scattered old-growth stands are the most biologically diverse temperate forests in the world. By sharing these remaining pristine wild places with us, Valentine and Bolgiano show that understanding these mountains and their extraordinary biodiversity is vital to maintaining the healthy environment that sustains all life.
