"A collection of weekly letters about a small and decidedly ordinary back yard that reveals the simple pleasures of paying attention to the natural world through a full year"--

Nature on the Doorstep reveals the simple pleasures of paying attention to the natural world in one's own backyard over the course of a year. In weekly letters, Angela Douglas shares the joys and curiosities of a decidedly ordinary patch of green in upstate New York cultivated through the art of "strategic neglect"—sometimes taking a hand to manage wildlife, more often letting nature go its own way.

From the first flowers of spring to cardinals singing in the winter, Douglas shows us the magic of welcoming unexpected plant and animal life into one's backyard. A paean to the richness we find when we stop to look and let be, Nature on the Doorstep celebrates the role humble backyards play both in conservation efforts and in an expanded appreciation of the living world.

Recenzijas

Filled with wide-eyed wonder, these lighthearted letters charm. This book has plenty to offer those looking to discover the magic in one's own backyard.
