Late modern societies have seen a surge of interest in “urban nature”, with increased efforts to protect existing nature spaces as well as invite new natures into cities through restoration, renaturing and/or greening. However, to date, there has been little discussion on the kind of nature that gets promoted through these agendas and what the implications are for unwanted or “illegitimate” creatures. Through empirical work at Europe’s largest urban wetland, Walthamstow Wetlands, and focussing on a local population of Canada geese, this paper examines how species lay claim to space and assert their agency in the practice of city renaturing. Drawing attention to the “beastly places” of unsanctioned urban wildlife, this paper challenges the scope of an urban nature reserve. In doing so, it seeks to bring a more-than-human lens to questions of urban nature, thus extending efforts to “animate the urban” in more relational and ethical ways.
