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.

In a Country Once Forested by Wendell Berry
The young woodland remembers
the old, a dreamer dreaming
Of an old holy book,
an old set of instructions,
And the soil under the grass
is dreaming of a young forest,
And under the pavement the soil
is dreaming of grass.
