Ontario’s natural heritage is vast, diverse, and fragile. In Legacy: The Natural History of Ontario, John B. Theberge brings together leading scientists, conservationists, and photographers to create a sweeping portrait of the province’s ecological richness. From the boreal forests of the north to the Carolinian woodlands of the south, from wetlands and rivers to the Great Lakes, this volume reveals the intricate web of life that defines Ontario. Lavishly illustrated with maps, line drawings, and color photographs, it is both a celebration of nature and a call to preserve it for future generations. Sponsored by the Ontario Heritage Foundation and the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, this book stands as a landmark in Canadian environmental literature.
