About Connecting-with-Nature.net

My name is Donna Long and here is a little about Connecting-with-Nature.net.

I started writing Connecting-with-nature.net in the summer of 2006. The study of the wonderful world around me has been a passion of mine for my whole life. I notice events and phenomena that my fellow city dwellers take no notice of or care about. This website is for people like me.

I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My nature study often takes place in my own backyard and the natural areas close to home. I also enjoy taking nature photographs. You can see some of photos throughout the site. My backyard as been become a "Certified Wildlife Habitat" through the National Wildlife Federation. And I am a Certified Master Home Gardener.

I am a nature writer and amateur naturalist. I often write on the topics of nature, ecology, the environment and native plant gardening. I carefully research and write all the topics I cover. Research is where my professional training as a librarian comes in handy.

This website is a labor of love for me. It is my hope that it is a help to those who enjoy nature study as much as I do.

So, Enjoy. And peace to all my relatives.

Donna
