"Voulez-vous admirer le gigantesque noyer du Japon du parc d'Egmont, les éblouissantes jacinthes dans le bois de Verrewinkel ou les centaines d'orchidées du marais de Jette? Observer les chauves-souris en chasse dans le domaine du Silex ou les innombrables libellules dans la vallée de la Woluwe? Voir les chevreuils dans la forêt de Soignes ou les nombreux papillons au Moeraske? Ce livre dévoile les espaces verts et les sites naturels de Bruxelles, où les plantes et les animaux bénéficient d'une protection européenne accordée à peu d'autres grandes villes de cette importance. Il nous donne aussi l'occasion d'aller à la rencontre de plusieurs personnes qui veillent à assurer la diversité des espèces. Des parcours exceptionnels dans les parcs, les friches, les réserves naturelles (le 'maillage vert et bleu' et la Promenade verte) permettent de découvrir l'extraordinaire richesse de la biodiversité d'une ville verte, d'une ville nature."--
