“Put on your hiking shoes, pack your binoculars, and rediscover the City of Angels.” —Westways Magazine

Los Angeles may have a reputation as a concrete jungle, but in reality, it's full of amazing wildlife. You just need to know where to find it!  Equal parts natural history, field guide, and trip planner, Wild LA has something for everyone. It looks at the factors that shape local nature—including fire, floods, and climate—and profiles over 100 local species, from easy-to-spot squirrels and praying mantids to more elusive green sea turtles, bighorn sheep, and mountain lions. Also included are descriptions of day trips that help you explore natural wonders on hiking trails, in public parks, and in your own backyard.

Title: The Ultimate Guide to LA Nature
Review: This is a very fun book! The pros for me are that it's illustrated and full of interesting information such as what kind of wildlife and flora you can find in LA's most famous parks and green spaces - I had no idea that there was this much wildlife in LA! The book has photos and little stories about the creatures and green things in and around LA and I've been leaving it for visitors and coworkers. It's a great gift for any LA dweller and a good reminder that it's not all freeways and concrete here.

Title: I want to gift this to everyone I know who THINKS they know LA...
Review: As an LA native, I really appreciate books like this. Kudos to the Natural History museum!This is well-written and researched and offers great insights on local nature. Nice read for children and adults alike. It's a solid reference for anyone visiting LA or is curious about non-touristy activities and places to explore. I keep this in the guest room to encourage visitors to learn more about Los Angeles - shake the cliches and better understand the sprawling/complicated/beautiful place from a natural perspective.

Title: Fantastic Guide to Noticing Your Urban Neighbors
Review: A wonderful guide to the plants and animals making their home in our fair city of LA. Full of great science, yet very easy to read. Also full of surprising facts and history that make the reading extra fun. The tips for finding and identifying the species are excellent, particularly the wonderful photography.

Title: great for LA kids
Review: My daughter absolutely loved this book and dragged it around for weeks looking at all the pictures. It has so much information even an LA native like myself learned some new things. It also has great suggestions for where to find all the plants and animals listed. It has great maps of local parks. Couldnt recommend more.
