Have you ever spotted all the wild stuff around you right in the city’s heart? Loads of folks don’t realize just how much wildlife is hanging out in London. That sparked the whole idea for the Nature in the City talk lineup. It’s all about showcasing the cool critters and greenery we have right here.
What’s This Nature in the City Deal?
At Wolf Performance Hall, the six-part event has been a thing since 2006, all thanks to Nature London and the London Public Library. They bring in some knowledgeable folks to talk about everything from gazing at stars to taking care of our green spaces and the cool winged creatures flying around, like chimney swifts. They focus on ensuring people have a blast while they learn about Mother Nature.
It’s all about these tiny soot-colored feather balls called chimney swifts that love hanging out in chimneys and munching on bugs. Winnie Wake shared some insights on why we need to appreciate these flyers and how it’s a bit concerning that their population is dwindling. She’s hoping we all step up to support their survival. “Winnie said, “I aim for people to discover things they perhaps didn’t consider before.” To grab attention and clarify nature, the talks rely on visual aids and simple language.
