book cover excerpt

Join naturalists and authors Maria Dolan and Kathryn True for an inspiring look at the surprising wildlife and natural spaces that thrive throughout Seattle.

Drawing from their book, Seattle Field Guide: Explore Nature in the City, they’ll share stories, photographs, and discoveries from their explorations of parks, shorelines, forests, and neighborhoods across the region.

Learn where to find some of Seattle’s most fascinating plants and animals, from birds and beavers to marine life and native trees, while gaining ideas for your own fall and winter outdoor adventures. Along the way, you’ll discover how opportunities to connect with nature can be found close to home, whether you’re an experienced naturalist or simply curious about the world outside your door.

The event will conclude with a discussion and audience Q&A, offering participants a chance to learn more about urban nature, local wildlife, and the inspiration behind the authors’ work.
