We are always looking to engage with schools and especially teens, who often don't get the opportunity to speak about #biodiversity and connectedness with #nature. Dr. @cooper_clair is researching those voices that are often unheard when discussing #wild spaces in #cities. twitter.com/cooper_clair/s…
