1. How do you think NYC is faring in its efforts to “go green”? Do you have any suggestions other than what was written in the book?
2. I’m curious about your view of Central Park. Central Park is man-made but New York City would not be as species-diverse without it.
3. I know that your book has attracted vast criticism. Are there any instances that you’re aware of in which you have been able to change conservationist minds, even a little bit? If so, what was it that resonated with them the most?
4. Is there a place (nation, park, etc.) that you feel best fits the “rambunctious garden” model? Can you give specifics about what this place does right?
5. What sparked the idea of “rambunctious gardens” in you? Have you always known that you wanted to go into ecology?
