Event Description

Explore the hidden wonders of the city’s natural world with acclaimed author and nature writer Lev Parikian as he delves
into the fascinating subject of urban nature. In this engaging talk, Lev will share insights from his book Light Rains Sometimes Fall, a beautifully observed chronicle of the ordinary yet extraordinary nature that surrounds us in urban environments.

Lev Parikian’s keen eye and lyrical prose invite us to reconsider the everyday landscapes of our cities, revealing the subtle beauty and intricate ecosystems often overlooked in our busy lives. Whether you're a seasoned naturalist or simply curious about the world around you, this talk will inspire you to discover and appreciate the rich tapestry of urban nature.

Lev is the author of six books. He writes for the Guardian’s Country Diary, and has reviewed for the Times Literary
Supplement and written features for Bird Watching magazine.
