"Immersed in the hustle and bustle of the city, it is easy to lose sight of the natural world. Offering nature know-how to urban dwellers, 50 Things to Do in the Urban Wild features illustrated, step-by-step activities to do in the great outdoors, including adopting a street tree, identifying animal prints in the park, creating a watering station for bees and other important pollinators, and many more. This essential guide will encourage you to engage with (and help to protect) the biodiversity of your metropolitan surroundings every time you hit the pavement, look up at the sky, or take to the water, cultivating a patch of wildness wherever you live--garden optional."--Page 4 of cover.
