Abstract: "When Canada created a Dominion Parks Branch in 1911, it became the first country in the world to establish an agency devoted to managing its national parks. Over the past century this agency, now Parks Canada, has been at the centre of important debates about the place of nature in Canadian nationhood, and relationships between Canadas diverse ecosystems and its communities. Today, Parks Canada manages over forty parks and reserves totalling over 200,000 square kilometres and featuring a dazzling variety of landscapes, and is recognized as a global leader in the environmental challenges of protected places."--Pubishers description.

Abstract: National Park Warden Ben Matthews expected challenges with his new posting at Cape Breton Highlands, but he got more than he bargained for. Facing a notorious poacher and the local communities who viewed poaching as a way of life, Ben and the park wardens are drawn into an intricate game of cat and mouse that takes a turn no one could have imagined. Set along the world-famous Cabot Trail, this is a gripping story about protecting one of Canada's special places. (From McNally Robinson website)
