Co-editors Michael Houck and M.J. Cody present the second edition of the highly acclaimed Wild in the City, which
brings more than one hundred of the best parks, trails and natural areas
to your fingertips. This comprehensive “must-have” reference will be
the go-to field guide for hikers, cyclists, paddlers, bird watchers, and
nature enthusiasts.
New natural history essays by Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stafford, Robin
Cody, Judy BlueHorse Skelton, Robert Michael Pyle, Jonathan Nicholas,
and Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, offer fresh

sustainable metropolitan region.

students and children. Included are tips on living with wildlife, as
well as a new section that provides essential information on how urban
living and green spaces intersect.
