The result was a renowned urban oasis that has been a haven for researchers, educators, and a broad range of environmental groups, and has been featured in both the L.A. Times and New York Times. This webinar focuses on wildlife that a photographer and Gottlieb Native Garden naturalist has documented in his book, The Gottlieb Native Garden: An Intimate Wildlife Journey. For over five years, he devoted himself to documenting and photographing the wildlife in the Garden, revealing the astonishing range of biodiversity that’s capable of thriving in our backyards — or apartment window boxes — when the right plants and habitat are established. In addition to being a wildlife photographer and naturalist, he is also an active wildlife lecturer, bird tour leader, and partner in Wild Wings Ecology. His photographs have been featured in books, magazines, and scientific periodicals. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he has been observing the city’s remarkable urban wildlife since childhood.
