New Brunswick, New Jersey lies in the heart of the I95 Corridor between Boston and Washington, the most densely populated region of its size in the US. The city has even given itself the nickname “Hub City” in recognition, at least in part, of its location at a convergence of major highways. With all this density and development, it’s no surprise that to many who live in the area the idea of wildlife seems distant and alien. Wildlife belongs to wild places, and New Brunswick is certainly anything but that. But if you look closely, and listen, you’ll find a surprisingly rich diversity of animal life within a short bike or bus ride. In this presentation, I will share some of my experiences observing and photographing wildlife in the area and discuss how those observations connect with specific components of our very familiar local landscapes.
