This vibrant, informative guide shows the unexpected and amazing nature in Houston and the surrounding area just waiting to be explored.

Houston is more than just a bustling metroplex, it's full of amazing wildlife. You just need to know where to find it! Equal parts natural history, field guide, and trip planner, Wild Houston has something for everyone. This handy yet extensive guide looks at the factors that shape local nature and profiles over 100 local species, from the Barred Owl and the Western Rat Snake to the Houston Burrowing Crayfish, the Rainbow Scareb, and the Nine-banded Armadillo. Also included are descriptions of day trips that help you explore natural wonders on hiking trails, in public parks, and in your own backyard. 

Series:

  • Wild Houston encourages Houstonians to ‘look under the hood’ of the city's concrete facade to see the wild, natural world that occupies the Bayou City.”
