Your city is a working ecosystem, and an hour is enough to explore it like a naturalist. Pigeons, squirrels, foxes and the tough little plants pushing up through pavement cracks all have a story. Plan a route through parks, back alleys and rooftop gardens and go looking.
Set yourself small challenges, keep a nature diary, and reflect on the roles these species play. It is part walk, part treasure hunt, and it changes how you see the streets you cross every day.
