This interesting little volume describes 295 wildlife sanctuaries in the United States and Canada. The author's aim is to present useful information about "...most of the major and many of the smaller sanctuaries that will admit the public..."
The sanctuaries and refuges are listed alphabetically by state. Address and directions for reaching each sanctuary are given first, followed by a brief list of rare or endangered species that occur, and an equally brief list of common species. A brief description of the refuge is then given, usually including other biological, historical or geological points of interest, activities allowed and precautions that should be taken. Also included are the dates and authors of refuge checklists.
