Wild Miami: Explore the Amazing Nature In and Around South Florida with Authors TJ Morrell & Brian Diaz
For MBBG's July edition of Second Saturday Seminar, authors TJ Morrell and Brian Diaz will discuss their recently published book, Wild Miami. They'll share how the book was conceived and their goal of spotlighting the often-overlooked natural beauty of Miami and South Florida for visitors and locals.
Equal parts natural history, field guide, and trip planner, Wild Miami reveals the incredible ecology of this tropical metropolis while giving the reader a glimpse into some beautiful hiking trails, beaches, wetlands, parks, and the species that inhabit them. The book features 25 outdoor field trips, 305 species, and more than a hundred conservation connections to local environmental organizations. A post-presentation tour of the garden by Brian and TJ will provide some intel into some of the species, emphasizing their overall importance and what we as humans can do to help preserve them.
