Description

A vibrant, family-friendly guide to the unexpected nature found in and around Philadelphia.

Philadelphia may seem like 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 Philly has something for everyone. This handy yet extensive guide looks at the factors that shape local nature and profiles over 100 local species, from beautiful flowers and towering trees to majestic birds and surprising city-dwellers like coyotes and red foxes. Also included are descriptions of day trips that help you explore natural wonders on hiking trails, in public parks, and in your own backyard.

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.
