Muskoka
Nature Walks
- Volume 1 is
a passionate portrayal
of nature. This
easy-to- read collection
of 'Nature Walk'
articles by Muskoka
Sun columnist Marlene
Walker, inspires
and teaches about
the natural phenomena
seen in cottage
country.
Overflowing with
Marlene’s
infectious enthusiasm,
'Muskoka Nature
Walks' takes the
cottager or visitor
on an adventure
in joy and discovery,
abounding in the
mysteries, secrets
and wonder of the
natural world at
our fingertips.
Involvement and
appreciation of
nature is a natural
antidote to our
fast-paced, stressful
and uncertain world.
To counter this
state of mind,
more and more people
embrace the feeling
of tranquility
through the rhythmic
predictability
of the seasons
and the beauty
of our flora and
fauna. Muskoka’s
natural treasures
provide a place
of peace, calm
and unexpected
pleasures that
continually delights
the senses. This
book describes
a love for Muskoka
experienced in
an intimate and
personal way.
Muskoka
Nature Walks -
Volume 2 follows
closely on the heels
of Marlene’s
first book published
in May, 2005. Like
Volume 1, this book
embraces a love of
nature that appeals
to all of our senses
while conveying a
compelling natural
history of one of
Canada’s prime
tourism havens. In
addition, a selection
of nature trails
in Muskoka is included
in this volume complete
with maps, descriptions
and trail ratings.

a passion for nature
since the age of
three when she

Work, and the second

birdsong.
Readers'
Comments
"Thank you
for inviting
me along
to experience the
delicacies of nature.
You have captured
the essence and
spirit of nature
through your pictures
and heartfelt words."
Jackie Wright
Muskoka
"For us, nature lovers from Europe, the book opened up a new vista. Muskoka
Nature Walks is a treasure trove and a delight to handle and read. It combines
serious
nature study and the visual attraction of superb photography; it has factual
information and is suffused with the author’s enthusiasm and love of nature."
David and Chris Ellis

"It’s one thing to walk in the woods aimlessly and quite another
to take
notice of the little things that set a region apart. Walker’s book helped
us appreciate every walk we took while we were on our week-long holiday in Muskoka."
