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.
