Wildlife In Color

The North Woods Country
Roger Tory Peterson

A gallery of wildlife miniatures was started in 1938 by the National Wildlife Federation. Each year, thirty-six new paintings of birds, fish, mammals, flowers, and trees were added to this growing collection which was published as poster stamps and distributed by the organization to support its work. The stamps were very popular with many families who loved the outdoors. When the stamps arrived, enthusiastic children would study them, absorbing all the details.

Chickadee Roger Tory Peterson	The pictures --- 453 illustrations in full color by America's leading wildlife artists --- were collected in one book in 1951. The text was written by Roger Tory Peterson, the creator of the successful Field Guide to The Birds.
Redstart Roger Tory Peterson	Wildlife in Color has been out of print for many years now. This valuable work should not be forgotten and lost. *You may be able to find a copy of Wildlife in Color* at alibris.com. Its alliances with rare book stores worldwide are very valuable in finding these classic works.**
Moose Walter Weber	The book is organized by wildlife communities. Peterson guides you through the many varied environments across America. This takes a different view than the identification manuals that group birds, animals, flowers, etc. by their species and similarities. You see the whole natural world of the specific environments, such as the pine barrens, the beaches, the swamps, the towns. Peterson talked of the vast variety. In his words, "A flight of geese, flowers in a mountain meadow, a scarlet tanager in an oak tree, a deer by the riverbank --- these are America."

Swamp Rose Mallow Leslie Ragan	A primary concern of the Federation has been to bring to the American people a full knowledge and understanding of our natural resources. These outdoors advocates have worked hard promoting conservation and appreciation of the natural world. Citizens have been urged to guard against the overuse of soil and its erosion; the pollution of waters; and the lack of planned cutting and reforestation of our timberlands. Our lands and waters are the foundations of the national wealth; and they urgently require the active and intelligent attention of all the people.
