FIND NATURE IN THE MOST UNLIKELY PLACES: SEATTLE'S URBAN LANDSCAPE

One day you might kayak Union Bay to visit herons and turtles. The next, meet a friend downtown at lunch to see peregrine falcons nesting. Take a bike tour of salmon restoration projects along the Duwamish River. Or learn to identify lichens on gravestones, and where to hear Pacific treefrogs sing. Maria Dolan and Kathryn True share their insider knowledge, complemented by the expertise of Seattle naturalists and scientists.
