One of my favorite projects ever just released a huge update! This tool lets you explore what the New York region looked like before European settlement. Not only is it fascinating history, it's also a great way to meditate on how humans can live in concert with the natural world.

If you stepped 400 years back in time, your block in New York City would be home to soaring trees, bears, mosses, salamanders, and so much more. Come see for yourself on Welikia 2.0! 🌲🐻 As we celebrate #EarthDay, get more in touch with your neighborhood’s natural history: www.welikia.org
