Cape Cod Wildlife:: A History of Untamed Forests, Seas and Shores

More about the book

Author Theresa Mitchell Barbo explores our relationship to Cape Cod's wildlife, examining the varied environs--from the windswept coast to intertidal salt marshes--found here. Over the centuries there have been extinctions, such as the mighty Atlantic population of the gray whale, and invasive species, such as gypsy moths and coyotes. Today, there is better awareness in our attempts to balance a sustainable local economy weighed against conservation of Cape Cod's priceless wildlife.
