Need an enthusiastic guide to urban nature? I’ve led group tours for Green-Wood Cemetery (bugs), the Brooklyn Bird Club (birds, bugs), NYC Wildflower Week (pollinators), Brooklyn Bridge Park (pollinators), and the NWF Eco-Schools Program (critters in general for elementary school children). I’m available for hire for individuals and small groups. Contact me at matthewwills at earthlink dot net for rates, availability, etc.
