Animal tracks in western Massachusetts

About this blog

This is a slog – a slow blog with longer more thoughtful posts and without clickbait – on environmental and public space topics on which little to nothing has ever been written in English, with digressions into design and architecture. Mostly it’s about interesting things in Germany, where I live. I work on urban ecosystems, water and climate and have a Ph.D. in urban forest ecology. You can find more about me here and I have a completely separate blog where I post my photos of travels, design and art, and there too, most of them depict things that you can’t see anywhere else online.
