With 80 percent of Americans living in cities, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has made it a priority to forge a connection between nature and those in urban communities. The USFWS Open Spaces blog asked five questions of some of staff members in a series we are calling “Meet your Fish and Wildlife Service,” which last week focused on how these wildlife educators maintain ties to the natural world and help foster them in others in the context of city living.
