NEW EPISODES EVERY OTHER WEDNESDAY AT 5PM EST!
Get your dose of nature in the city. Join me on adventures, quests, and explorations of hidden natural features around Cleveland, Northeast Ohio, and cities all over.
I am a self-proclaimed urban naturalist who is passionate about community-based conservation and urban ecology. I grew up on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, surrounded by urban stream valleys that tumble down to Lake Erie. I am fascinated by nature in the city, and I spend much time working and playing where the woods end and the neighborhoods begin.
Please note: any opinions and commentary expressed in this channel are my own. If I ruffled your feathers, that was ME, not a third party, my employer or anyone else. Let's work together and be civil. That's the kind of behavior that community conservation needs!
*No new episodes on November 27 and December 25, 2024.

Tough City Plants

#natureinthecity #cleveland #nativeplants If you're a plant living in the city, you gotta be tough! Not many species of native plants can survive life in the big city, as urban environments often have poor (or no) soil and few places to grow. In this video, I'll show you 10 tough city plants that thrive in Cleveland's urban core. Many of these underappreciated but showy wildflowers and shrubs a...

#georgia #savannah #palmtrees #naturewalk When you think of palm trees, what comes to mind? Most people conjure up an image of a tropical island or a steamy jungle, yet numerous species of palms grow in cooler climates. Cleveland is much too cold for palms, which is why I took a trip to Skidaway Island in Georgia to discover the beauty of native, cold-hardy palms along with interesting plants a...
