We’re proud to announce our partnership with Wildsam on a brand-new guide dedicated entirely to the National Forests and Grasslands. In their first field guide of national scope, the book aims to help travelers discover natural wonders both far afield and close at hand.

Rooted in the belief that these lands deserve to be known, not just visited, this guide is layered with local voices, hand-drawn illustrations, and the kind of storytelling that draws you deeper into the wild places you love.

What's inside: regional guide, recommendations, history, culture, naturalist notes, interviews, and original stories.

The South is a poem, verses that conjure magical thinking: Lowcountry, Smokies, Blue Ridge, Black Belt and Outer Banks. It is the morning sun on a bayou; the drape of Spanish moss on a live oak; fireflies blinking all at once down that Tennessee road; Pine, cypress, and mangrove. High mountain stands to the greenest, wettest forests around.
