Boston is one of the only major cities in the US to have a park within a 10-minute walk of all residents. This stems in large part from the creation of a network of green space ¿ the Emerald Necklace ¿ more than a hundred years ago. Seals, whales, and other denizens of the North Atlantic can be found along the coast and just offshore. The dominant hardwood forests are important breeding grounds for numerous migratory songbirds from the Neotropics as well as mammals like White-tailed Deer and Virginia Opossums. Migratory Monarch butterflies pass through the Boston region each year, especially where milkweed persists. With thousands on animals to sift through, it helps to have a portable reference on hand to cut through the clutter and get acquainted with the most common species. You can do this with the beautifully illustrated Boston Wildlife, which features 140 mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, seashore creatures, butterflies, and other insects. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the perfect tool for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who are keen to forge deeper and more meaningful relationships with green spaces through their attendant animals. Made in the USA.
