Urban Wildlife

We mean it...you really don't want to miss this! John Simmons, photographer for the Charlotte Observer, has done an incredible job capturing images of wildlife that can be found in and around Charlotte, NC. In Our Urban Wildlife, his photos interpret the lives of these animals that are caught up in urban growth. Learn about how some animals have adapted to this change as well as which ones are struggling with it, learn about the jobs and research of folks who work with wildlife on a daily basis, and be awed by the skill of Simmons' images. Bruce Henderson, environmental writer for the Charlotte Observer, has worked with Simmons and wrote two articles for the project. One looks at how animals are responding to expanding urban areas, and the second looks closely at those who understand this plight well, wildlife rehabilitators.
