This little booklet is intended as an introduction to the natural environment which surrounds Camp de Benneville Pines. Placing the camp in its geographical, geological and ecological setting, it also serves as a guide to some of the plants, animals and rocks to be found within the boundaries of the camp as well as in a few places frequented by campers, namely the lower reaches of the Forsee Creek Trail, the Johns Meadow Trail, the banks of the Barton Creek (affectionately referem to by campers as "the Stream") and the popular hike to Jenks Lake. Take this with you, explore around and enjoy "the good tidings" of the mountains and the forest.
