If you live in the city, you probably think you have to head out to the countryside to experience wildlife.

Well on this edition of UWM Today, we are going to talk about the amazing number of species that exist in the shadow of high rises or within subdivisions.

And a UWM scientist is helping to document it all. Gary Casper, a biologist at the UWM Field Station, is conducting the first-ever comprehensive wildlife survey in Milwaukee County.

Tom Luljak hosted UWM Today on WUWM for more than two decades and is the inaugural host of Curious Campus.
