My new book A Natural History of Empty Lots is released today. I hope you like it—it distills 20 years of exploring the edgelands, working on rewilding projects, and trying to understand what such places teach us about our lives, history and future: hachettebookgroup.com/titles/christo…

Field Notes from the first fortnight of the interregnum, with election week insect eggs, clickbait Rorschachs, autumnal coral snakes, wild robots, and a cold morning walk under the light of the year's last supermoon. Plus some book news: fieldnotes.christopherbrown.com/p/nymphs-of-th…

We don't have many new articles today, so we'd like to share some essays from our backlog that may provide some catharsis or comfort as we head into the weekend 🧵

In A Natural History of Empty Lots, Christopher Brown explores the hidden wild spaces in cities and challenges our boundary with nature. A powerful look at “rewilding” urban edgelands. #UrbanNature #Rewilding texasstandard.org/stories/natura… @NB_Chris @timberpress @TexasStandard
