Wild in the City is a monthly podcast created for all the people in urban cities who care deeply about the environment and are concerned by the rapid disappearance of their wild places. If you are looking to learn, make connections with like-minded citizens, and be inspired to have local impact, look no further. Wild in the City’s focus is on preserving, conserving and restoring tree canopy, streams, springs, wildlife, pollinators, habitat, biodiversity and wild places. You will be exposed to best practices from thriving urban cities around America who have successfully flipped the mindset on the cost of growth at the expense of our natural resources. Jim Newbury and Janet Wells bring you environmental change-makers who have demonstrated how the environment plays a critical role in the sustainability and resilience of urban cities. Featured guests will share how urban cities are waking up to the valuable role of nature in attracting new residents and sustaining equitable growth in their communities. Our focus is on making local impact as easy as possible, so each episode ends with actionable advice and levels of involvement that fit any bandwidth.
