<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 20pt; color: rgb(208, 92, 18);">“Many of the most vivid writings in Henry David Thoreau’s journals were inspired by the plants and animals that inhabit the sprawling fields, forests, and
wetlands of Concord and nearby communities. An inveterate year-round rambler and keen and thoughtful observer, Thoreau wrote frequently about these creatures, faithfully recording each sighting or encounter with the accuracy of a scientist and the deep spirituality
of a transcendentalist and mystic.”</span></p>
