Elfin Forest Pocket Guide

The new, fully revised edition of "Plants and Animals of the Elfin Forest Natural Area - A Pocket Guide" is now available! A number of new species have been added, including whole new sections for gastropods and lichens. Also useful information about most species has been included. The Pocket Guide is no longer just a species list.

As is often the case with technical documents errors do creep in and new information comes to light. Below is the current "errata" and "addendum" (as of 9/22/06):
