Description
365 prompts for noticing nature every day of the year
Arranged in a day-by-day format, this beautiful gift book, Urban Nature Every Day, is a celebration of the nature you can find in your city or town, such as urban foxes prowling in your garden, weeds sprouting from a crack in the pavement, butterflies on your balcony, and the joys of wandering along a canal path.
Learn how to put up a bug hotel on the 5th of January, search for cherry blossom on the 4th of April, and have a picnic underneath a willow's branches on the 11th of June. There are cloud formations to spot, avenues of trees to walk down, and elderberries to harvest.
Over the past few years, city-dwellers have all learned to appreciate the nature on their doorsteps, as part of the lasting legacy of lockdown. This timely book is a celebration of the vast variety of wildlife around us, proving that you don't need a trip to the countryside to enjoy the natural world.
