New York City is wilder than you might think. Thousands of species of birds, mammals, insects, plants, fungi, and more are surviving, and thriving, in every part of our city. This new lecture series, featuring ecologists, naturalists, and other nature enthusiasts, will give you a new perspective on the surprisingly abundant living things all around you.

Guest speaker Ryan Mandelbaum is the author of Wild NYC, science writer, nature educator, and wildlife photographer
