What is Where the Brown Snakes Roam?

You’ve dreamt of the arctic. You’ve wandered sand counties. You’ve made a pilgrimage to Tinker Creek. Now dive into the natural world of the City of Brotherly Love.

Everywhere we go, nature gives us something fascinating to talk about. Every week I write about how nature fascinates, even in a landscape of concrete, asphalt, and endless rowhouses.

I write for Grid magazine in Philadelphia, I wrote a book called Exploring Philly Nature: a Guide for All Four Seasons (guess what it’s about!), I produce and co-host the Urban Wildlife Podcast, and then there’s PhillyNature.org, but I got my start blogging about herping in Philadelphia, and here I return to blogging after all these years.

Urban nature writer, herper, and, not ashamed to admit it, a birder too.
