For scientific For Scientific American Science Quickly, I'm Rachel Feldman. I love spending time in nature, but that can feel hard to do when you live in a city.

Even out in the suburbs, it's tough to feel like you're really outside when you're outside.

But if you start thinking like an urban naturalist, you can find wildlife to appreciate everywhere you go.

My guest today is Ryan Mandelbaum. They're a science writer, naturalist, and educator based in New York

City. Their new book, Wild NYC, is a guide to exploring the natural wonders of the Big Apple,

but they've also got great tips on how to find wildlife in any built environment.

Earlier this month, we took a walk through New York City's Prospect Park with Ryan

to learn how to approach urban and suburban environments like a naturalist.

Bear in mind that we recorded this while walking around outside,

so it will sound pretty different from our usual in-studio episodes.

You can check out a video version with lots of cool plants and animals to look at over on our

YouTube channel.

Hey, y'all.

We are here in Prospect Park with Ryan Mannabaum, the author of a book called Wild NYC that's

all about finding wildlife even in urban spaces.

Ryan, tell us a little bit about the book and what we're going to do here today.

Yeah, so Wild NYC is part natural history, part field guide, part trip planner about New York City.
