Delaware may be the second smallest state in the nation, but it is rich in natural treasures. Most of the major habitats on the eastern seaboard are found here, from ocean, bays, and beaches, to marshes, meadows, and forest. Here, the natural world is deeply intertwined with human occupation, from productive farmlands to bustling cities. Can we hope to maintain the natural balance that has evolved in Delaware over the ages? The first step in meeting this challenge is to forge a greater understanding of the complex, interwoven, and largely unseen web of life right outside our door.
