“City Creatures”: We usually think of cities as the domain of humans—but we are just one of thousands of species that call the urban landscape home. Through a unique and accessible mix of essays, poetry, paintings, and photographs, the recently published City Creatures: Animal Encounters in the Chicago Wilderness introduces readers to an astonishing diversity of urban wildlife. Gavin Van Horn,. Director of Cultures of Conservation for the Center for Humans and Nature, and co-editor of City Creatures, will present an illustrated talk and stories about how urban wildlife can connect us to place, from our backyards to our bioregion.
