Almas and the Urban Forest: Observations and questions generated while navigating the urban green spaces
The urban forest is a funny place. Some call it a 'novel ecosystem' full of 'cosmopolitan species'. Some consider it a degraded natural environment, with a patchwork of native forest corridors. Some consider it a diverse assemblage of human endeavour and chance. Regardless of philosophical perspective, urban areas are only growing in area and population, making up the majority of interactions that Canadians experience with nature.
This blog space - Almas and the Urban Forest is a domain for me to patch together daily observations made while walking through the urban forest with my family, gaining more and more perspective each day. I hope you enjoy browsing my site and all of the unique and mundane observations I make that might make you think twice about the environment where you live. Take a look around; Read on and enjoy!
