Edgelands are the forgotten places in a city: the abandoned lots, warehouses, railroad tracks, and parking lots that have fallen into disrepair. As years go by, weed seeds germinate through cracks in the asphalt and a new urban ecology begins. Native and non-native plants take root and wildlife food and shelter are reintroduced. This site explores the values of neglected urban wildscapes and points out why we need them in the city.

Book quote: Bringing Nature Home
"My central message is that unless we restore native plants to our suburban ecosystems, the future of biodiversity in the United States is dim." --Douglas Tallamy, Bringing Nature Home, p. 9
