Science in your backyard
According to her profile, Keri Dearborn is a writer, poet, and urban naturalist in the Los Angeles Area. She has taken on an interesting project, studying her own backyard and recording the tremendous biodiversity found on her suburban property just two blocks from one of the busiest freeways in the United States. The Backyard Biodiversity Project begins in her driveway. You might be surprised at all she found. Hmm…that sounds like a good lesson in observation. Just studying the driveway. She is only up to day eight, so it won’t take long to catch up and see just how many species this naturalist can log in her own backyard habitat.
