This book celebrates nature in Langley and the members of the Langley Field Naturalists, who for half a century, have sought to keep it.
Originally planned to be a history book documenting significant names, dates, and accomplishments of the LFN, it evolved into so much more.
To our delight and surprise, from this exercise, an overwhelming sense of joy and community emerged as the critical element of success and endurance. We hope that the pioneering work of the LFN will serve as an inspiration and an invitation to young people to "know nature and keep it worth knowing".
