Can we live alongside backyard bears? What can urban bees tell us about climate change? How do human issues like racism affect city critters? Cities can be surprisingly wild places, especially for the scientists who study them. Join Cylita Guy as she shares the exciting adventures of urban ecologists-herself included-whose work shows that studying urban wildlife can help us make cities healthier for all of their inhabitants. From a rodent-tracking Ratmobile to a weather station on the back of a bike, discover all the ways these scientists study nature in your neighborhood-and try out urban ecology challenges to look for signs of wildlife wherever you live.
