Long before he became the Conservation President, native New Yorker Theodore Roosevelt was an avid naturalist who loved the outdoors and kept detailed natural history notebooks.

Join us in celebrating the reopening of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial at the American Museum of Natural History with New York Is Wild! In this project, we’ll honor Theodore Roosevelt’s passion for nature by highlighting a New York City invertebrate each month. Follow TR’s example and use your skills of observation to locate local invertebrates, share your findings, and learn how to protect these exceptional species.
