This is a nature oriented blog. Much maligned in the recent past, Bronx County has experienced a focused grass-roots attempt at environmental remediation. The Bronx River corridor has seen the return of its flora and fauna punctuated by the return of Jose the Beaver to the Bronx River. The first beaver sighted in 200 years.

The Bronx River Corridor: A Socioeconomic Perspective.

 A majority of the photos of flora, fauna, and nature scenes in this blog will be from the Bronx though nature does not acknowledge borders! Once the site becomes fully functional we will be accepting images and questions about our Bronx Nature.

Thank you,
