Samantha C, Librarian
Wild Philly is a perfect guidebook for people who want to know more about what Philly's wildlife was like historically, what forces changed the balance of nature and how you can still experience nature within the city and surrounds. An excellent introduction for people who are passionate about wild places and inquisitive about how cities came to occupy wild spaces.
