When Nature Comes Knocking

As cities grow and climate change worsens, wildlife is being forced out of its natural habitats and into our neighborhoods. With green spaces disappearing, animals like grass snakes—harmless but misunderstood—are showing up on porches, in garages, and near schools. And they’re not alone. Foxes, raccoons, deer, even wild boars are increasingly part of urban life.

These sightings aren’t just surprising—they’re a warning. As Dr. Emily Granger of the Urban Nature Institute notes, animals aren’t invading our spaces; they’re adapting to a world we’ve reshaped. They’re not threats—they’re displaced neighbors.

Instead of fear, we need awareness. That means learning about local wildlife, protecting our homes and pets, and supporting green corridors to help animals move safely.

I once saw a small snake crushed on the sidewalk. It made me sad—but it also reminded me: nature isn’t far away anymore. It’s right here. And we need to pay attention.
