Ovenbird high on a tree in East River Park or whatever’s left of it. NYC has less and less trees for birds and less and less ground areas for wildlife, such a shame! #ovenbird #birdwatching #wildlife

Tomorrow, our co-founder, Orlane Panet, will be joining @AIACALIF in a webinar about biophilia in the workplace. #Urbanfarming increases our connection to nature by incorporating it directly into our cities! This is why urban farming is such a key aspect of biophilic design.

Scientists interested in measuring city health may not need to look further than local honeybees. As bees fly, their fuzzy bodies collect all kinds of microbes indicative of the local environment. So, can we use bees to "swab test" for city health? bit.ly/421Z3dH
