Description:
Wild New York is an eye-opening look at the natural wonders of the ultimate metropolis, from billion-year-old bedrock in the Bronx to falcons nesting on Park Avenue. With directions for 33 walking tours, the book guides readers through the city's hidden (and not so hidden) natural comers and pockets of wildlife, including snapping turtles lurking in Central Park's ponds, piping plovers nesting on the Breezy Point Tip of the Rockaways, and sharks slicing the waters off Coney Island.

In addition, Wild New York details the city's plant life, geographical features, weather, and ecosystems, revealing a side of the city most people don't know exists. Packed with lively facts and keen observations of New York's wild areas -- from seashores and salt marshes to forests and woodland parks -- Wild New York shows residents and visitors alike how much nature is to be found between, around, and amid the city's concrete, glass, and steel.
