Description:

In this book, naturalist Amanda Tuke shares her delight in the overlooked and underappreciated wildlife in our UK cities, finds the people who care for it, takes groups out to enjoy it and explores what the current thinking in ecology and conservation means for the future of urban nature.

Join Amanda as she explores London from the City out to the suburbs and visits Liverpool, Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff, Sheffield, Aberdeen and other cities in the British Isles, exploring the diversity of our urban nature and the surprising places you can find it.

From wild bees living on a canal bank and black redstarts nesting in London's Oxford Street, to rare plants in pavement cracks and new fish life in trolley-filled urban rivers, her discoveries are there for anyone to enjoy. Noticing the wild world around you may just change the way you think about our cities for good.

'Fresh, immediate, and full of vim' - Peter Marren
