Description
New York City may have a reputation as a concrete jungle, but in reality, it's full of amazing wildlife. You just need to know where to find it! Equal parts natural history, field guide, and trip planner, Wild NYC has something for everyone. It looks at the factors that shape local nature—including fire, floods, and climate—and profiles over 100 local species, from easy-to-spot squirrels and praying mantids to more elusive humpback whales, purple finches, and so many more. Also included are descriptions of day trips that help you explore natural wonders on hiking trails, in public parks, and on your own street.

A wonderfully illustrated, informative, and engaging book that dives into NYCs history and the wildlife in one of the most urban areas in the world. I feel like this book would be perfect for anyone who is interested in urban history/wildlife - but particularly for middle/high school kids as a way to get them engaged in science and nature more.

thank you to netgalley, author -randal mandlebaum, and timber press for this e pub ARC. this was a delight of a read. while i was reading i imagined it as a beautiful and informational coffee table book. it’s full of information and photos on fauna and flora of new york.
when discussing the nature of the city, it had me rethinking how i view the plants and animals around me.
