urbpanMany people who found this journal when it was spotlighted, added it under the impression that it was an urban nature lovers community. Also, many regular readers have expressed that it would be desirable for readers to post their own "Urban Species" entries. It would be a great joy to me to read entries on urban species from cities around the world (and I love seeing photos of the species in the back yards of people on my friends list). Also, lots of people seem interested in having a place to post pictures of unidentified urban species, for experts and enthusiasts to help identify them.
In order to address all of these issues,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cottonmanifesto and I have created the community ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
urban_nature (I wanted urban_nature_lovers, but lj said it was too long). It is still a work in progress, and I expect it will remain so for a long time, but it is ready enough to let you know about it, so you can join and start posting.
Unless you read my journal only because you know me in real life, you should definitely add this new community to your friends list, your blog reading list, or your list of links (however you organize these things).
I will probably post there a lot, and I'll cross-post most of my personal journal entries that have something to do with urban nature. If you find it redundant to have my journal and this new community, and you want to unfriend my journal, I promise I won't be offended. Especially if you added it because you wanted to read and contribute to a community--now you can. It will be exciting to see and read about urban nature from places other than Boston and wherever I go on vacation.
To repeat:
JOINurban_nature!
