A new book from Chiu Yin Hempel,
award-winning author of Tuxedo
Park: The Historic Houses and
Tuxedo Park: Lives, Legacies,
Legends - Illustrated with over
200 original color photographs
by Greg Miller.
Tuxedo Park: The Gift of Nature
tells the story of how
conservation-minded community
development, nature, and
extraordinary biodiversity have
changed the landscape in this
historic village, located only
45 miles north of New York City.
Tuxedo Park is home to more than
450 species of trees and plants,
150 species of butterflies and
moths, and nearly 200 species of
birds, mammals, reptiles, and
amphibians. Its lakes and feeder
streams teem with life year
round.
Founded in 1886, Tuxedo Park is
listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. Nature in
Tuxedo Park appears almost
untouched by man. However, over
100 years of conservation-minded
community development has been
responsible for the village's
continued ecological health and
unspoiled beauty. This exquisite
environment is now given a voice
in Tuxedo Park: The Gift of
Nature, revealing the gifts that
Mother Nature has passed down
since time immemorial.
The book is the third volume in
an illustrated trilogy about the
historic community of Tuxedo
Park, New York. The others are
Tuxedo Park: Lives, Legacies,
Legends and Tuxedo Park: The
Historic Houses.
