Wild Philly: The Extraordinary Nature of Our Backyard
America’s sixth largest city is home to an amazing abundance of surprising wildlife: the peregrine falcon, the fastest animal on earth; the coyote, a recent immigrant to Wild Philly; the beaver, once vanished and now making an astonishing comeback; and more. Meet some of the region’s featured creatures-- plus the places you can go to see the full diversity of wildlife. In a perfect celebration of spring, writer-naturalist Mike Weilbacher will share all this and more, while answering your many questions about local nature and selling and signing copies of his book, Wild Philly, which offers a full year of the region’s best nature walks.
This program is free and open to everyone ages 18+.
