Great Outdoors Month: Mark Catesby

Great Outdoors Month first started as a Great Outdoors Week in 1998. The main aim was to increase jobs and the GDP of the country by getting people to enjoy nature and appreciate it. This display features Volume 2 of Catesby’s Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands. Mark Catesby, an avid outdoorsman, was an English naturalist who studied the flora and fauna of the New World and helped educate the world about the great outdoors through his works.
