Wild LA: Explore the Amazing Nature in and Around Los Angeles (Wild Series)

Lots of good info on different hiking spots

I think this book shows a lot of LA’s hidden natural gems. Very interesting and engaging.

As an LA native, I really appreciate books like this. Kudos to the Natural History museum!This is well-written and researched and offers great insights on local nature. Nice read for children and adults alike. It's a solid reference for anyone visiting LA or is curious about non-touristy activities and places to explore. I keep this in the guest room to encourage visitors to learn more about Los Angeles - shake the cliches and better understand the sprawling/complicated/beautiful place from a natural perspective.

This is a very fun book! The pros for me are that it's illustrated and full of interesting information such as what kind of wildlife and flora you can find in LA's most famous parks and green spaces - I had no idea that there was this much wildlife in LA! The book has photos and little stories about the creatures and green things in and around LA and I've been leaving it for visitors and coworkers. It's a great gift for any LA dweller and a good reminder that it's not all freeways and concrete here.

Bought this as a gift for a backyard nature lover in the OC, California. She enjoyed it!

Clear writing informative tells about lots of animals flora in and near L.A. Useful and handy.

My daughter absolutely loved this book and dragged it around for weeks looking at all the pictures. It has so much information even an LA native like myself learned some new things. It also has great suggestions for where to find all the plants and animals listed. It has great maps of local parks. Couldnt recommend more.

I bought this book because I wanted to learn more about where I lived (Los Angeles).This book is great for that because it provides you with information about nature in Los Angeles in its current state and its past.Also, the images and text are put together really well. It's so professional and educational!
