		<![CDATA[ Brett Amy Thelen is an ecologist, writer, owl bander, and the science director for the Harris Center for Conservation Education in southwestern New Hampshire, where she has led the celebrated Salamander Crossing Brigade program for 20 years. Since 2007, she has trained and coordinated nearly 2,500 community science volunteers, who have collectively provided safe passage for almost 100,000 spring-migrating amphibians. In recent years, the Harris Center has also partnered with the City of Keene to institute “Big Night Detours” at two crossing sites, the only places in New Hampshire (so far) to close roads for the protection of migrating amphibians. This spring, they’ll begin working with New Hampshire Fish and Game to design and install the state’s very first salamander tunnels – not unlike the story Brett reviews in Wood Lit on page 72.

		<![CDATA[ Jada Fitch grew up in a log cabin her father built in Sebago, Maine, near her grandparents’ store, Fitch’s General. She spent much of her childhood there or at home, drawing and making crafts with her mother, a stained-glass artist. After art school, time in Los Angeles, and nearly a decade in Portland, Maine, balancing day jobs with freelance projects, Jada discovered birdwatching and became captivated, making birds her primary artistic focus. As her illustrations gained recognition, she transitioned into freelancing full time and continued to find inspiration while volunteering at a local bird-banding station. Today, she lives in a 230-year-old farmhouse in Downeast Maine, creating artwork for clients such as National Audubon, American Bird Conservancy, and Down East Magazine, while also enjoying bird walks, gardening, and personal projects that include her book (a collaboration with writer Kateri Kosek) The Forest Revealed: An Illustrated Year, excerpted on page 42. In this photo, Jada is working on the cover painting for the book. Photo courtesy of Jada Fitch. ]]>

		<![CDATA[ Will Close is an artist, designer, educator, and wildlife tracker who specializes in the intersection of nature, art, design, and teaching. He holds a degree in fine art painting from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and studied wildlife track and sign under Dan Gardoqui and Daniel Hansche. To create the watercolor illustrations for “Naming Conifers” (Knots &amp; Bolts), Will relied on field guides – including the classic Golden Guides – online references, and a trip to the spruce-laden forests of Maine to research the nuances between Picea rubens, P. mariana, and P. glauca. Will resides in Concord, Massachusetts, where he is an outdoor education instructor with Carroll School in Lincoln and maintains an artistic studio practice (in this photo he is working on a notecard featuring a great horned owl). His passion for nature illustration, tracking, and sharing these with others has taken him from the forests of Maine to the Ecuadorian Amazon. Most recently, he was the inaugural artist-in-residence with North County Land Trust in north central Massachusetts. Photo by Claire Neid. ]]>

		<![CDATA[ If you’ve ever called or stopped by the Northern Woodlands office, you’ve likely talked with Nancy Farwell, our circulation and advertising sales coordinator. Nancy manages our online sales and in-house shop, helps with circulation and development, and is the human of our office mascot, Percy the dog. She also designed and maintains our native pollinator garden at the Lyme office. During the production stage of each issue of the magazine, Nancy is a puzzle master, fitting scores of advertisements (seen here spread out on our conference room table), from small to full page, into the designated spaces in the magazine. We’re incredibly grateful to the advertisers who support our mission – and to Nancy for working with them to create an advertising mosaic that will catch readers’ eyes and complement our editorial content.

In 2023, VLT and the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation worked with the landowners to overlay a river corridor easement on the original easement, giving the Seymour River space to move. The photo shows the river, its riparian wetlands, forest, and agricultural fields all within the river corridor. Some areas along the river were retired from farming as part of the corridor easement and planted with trees to increase the riparian forest area. Photo by Caleb Kenna / VLT. ]]>

		<![CDATA[ Internationally known artist, naturalist, and educator Clare Walker Leslie has authored 15 books, including several focused on drawing nature and nature journaling. (For more about her work, visit her website.) This issue features the first installment of her seasonal Nature Journal for the magazine. This past autumn, Leslie led a nature journaling workshop at the Northern Woodlands office. Afterward, Leslie (left) and Northern Woodlands Editor Meghan McCarthy McPhaul sat down together to look over some of the many pages of nature journals – from Leslie’s homes in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Granville, Vermont – and to begin planning for the entry you’ll find in this issue, on page 36.

		<![CDATA[ If there’s too much open water and the loons are in good health (as seen here on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire in January 2022), the birds can easily dive to evade capture – so the first part of many rescues is simply watching and waiting. With the help of Nordic skaters, LPC biologists monitored these loons for a full week before conditions aligned for a rescue attempt. Photo by Harry Vogel / LPC. ]]>

At the top is a forest that lacks variation in tree size, species, and structure, and may be vulnerable to climate change impacts, disturbances, and other stressors. In the lower image, management interventions have created a more diverse and complex forest, with protections to soil, water, and biodiversity that can help build resilience.

		<![CDATA[ Associate Editor Meghan McCarthy McPhaul was thrilled to tag along with biologists from New Hampshire Fish and Game and staff from the Kilham Bear Center when they visited the den of a radio-collared sow bear this past spring. While the experts checked on the anesthetized mother, Meghan acted as a &ldquo;cub warmer&rdquo; for the 2-month-old cubs, one male (seen here) and one female. She considers this among the top 5 days of her writing and editing career. Her story, &ldquo;Bear Necessities: A Second Chance for Orphaned Cubs,&rdquo; appears on page 50.

		<![CDATA[ Photographer Sally Farr took this image of Anna Morris (Knots &amp; Bolts: &ldquo;How to Make an Owl Box,&rdquo; page 18) and Aurora, a male barn owl, during a photography workshop at Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS). &ldquo;I had just handed Aurora a small piece of mouse as a reward for sitting calmly in front of all those big cameras, and he had his wings spread for balance in his excitement about this,&rdquo; explained Morris. She serves as the director of onsite and outreach programs at VINS and has worked with Aurora, an &ldquo;education ambassador,&rdquo; for the past seven years. The owl was captive-bred at Hawk Creek Wildlife Center in western New York as part of a conservation breeding program aimed at bolstering wild barn owl populations. ]]>

This photo shows Diamond and then-Americorps member Evan Foster at a stream restoration site along Crooked Creek in Colchester, Vermont. “We were checking beaver dam analogs built the previous season to see if they were structurally sound and had been functioning as we’d hoped – slowing water and letting it spread onto the floodplain after storms,” she explained. To learn more about this work, see her article on page 52. Photo by Corey Hendrickson. ]]>

		<![CDATA[ New Hampshire–based artist Carolyn Arcabascio enjoys working with traditional media such as acrylics and oils, but for the past decade, she has often used digital painting apps. “I was excited to expand my exploration of color and brushwork in this medium,” she explained. Here she uses Procreate, a painting program for iPads, to create one of the illustrations for Todd Davis’s essay.

The dog in the photo is Greta, a 10-year-old mini schnauzer mix. “Greta enjoys all seasons and wants outside at all times,” said Arcabascio. “This she shares with my husband, Brett Robinson, who took the photo.” ]]>

		<![CDATA[ Carpenter Adam Miller hand planes boards to give them a subtle texture that will complement the older wood frame. This allows light to play across the old and new wood in similar ways. Using industrial lumber, conversely, would result in a monotonous, smooth texture. “I’ve been working with boards that are remarkably clear. One advantage of getting boards from a sawmill that specializes in timbers is that a timber comes out of the middle of the log, and all the side boards that they get out of it tend to be nicer,” said Adam. Adam used different tools on the timber and the boards to show a range of texture. ]]>

By walking only a few feet from the car or office or home, we are transported to a landscape so unfamiliar we seem to be in a different era and a different place.” Plants and animals, among them northern saw-whet owls and Karner blue butterflies, spill from its undulating dunes, Barnes observed, “and fill the air with delightful sights and sounds and smells with seasonal regularity.” Photo by Scott Stoner, Naturelogues. ]]>

		<![CDATA[ The BLACK-AND-YELLOW NOMAD BEE (Nomada luteoloides) is one of nine species of cuckoo bees (Nomada spp.) that are forest specialists. All cuckoo bees are kleptoparasitic; they lay their eggs in nests of other species, often miner bees, and play no role in their care. When hatched, the young kills the host egg and consumes its pollen/nectar provision. Researchers estimate the percentage of kleptoparasitic species at about 20 percent of all forest-associates.

		<![CDATA[ In 1813, William Bassett of Ashfield bought 121 acres of farmland in the neighboring town of Hawley from Ezra Combs. Bassett expanded the existing home for his bride Polly Trow to 31-by-40-feet, which befitted one of the town’s most successful farming families. Located inside Kenneth Dubuque Memorial State Forest, it’s now overrun with wildflowers and is one of the most impressive cellar holes in the town. Photos by Erik Hoffner. ]]>

		<![CDATA[ Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) biologist Brian Hess performs an acoustic survey at dusk. Hess recently passed the bat monitoring program to Devaughn Fraser. A team of volunteers works with Fraser statewide, using equipment that can track and identify the different echolocation calls of Connecticut’s nine bat species. This monitoring method is similar to point counts performed by ornithologists, in which researchers take an inventory of bird species observed at a given point at the same time of day and compare data over time to better understand habitat preferences and population fluctuations.

This washed-out culvert is one of four damaged during Tropical Storm Irene on an access road in the White Mountain National Forest in 2011. Trout Unlimited worked with the U.S. Forest Service to relocate a portion of the road and replaced each of the culverts with bridges so the USFS would have access to a maintained group camping site. This road is adjacent to the busy Lincoln Woods Trail on the other side of the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River. Photo by Colin Lawson / Trout Unlimited. ]]>

This is a “clean” beech, which means it shows no signs of being affected by beech bark disease, perhaps indicating a genetic resistance to that pathogen. Releasing clean beech trees encourages the production of mast for wildlife, including black bears, as well as potentially fostering a healthier, more resistant beech population.

		<![CDATA[ The cover art on Dawnland Voices features the &quot;Fiddlehead&quot; purse by Rhonda Besaw, which is in the permanent collection of the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor, Maine. From Besaw’s website: “Through beadwork, the reality of Abenaki survival can be shared and acknowledged. Through beadwork perhaps my brothers and sisters, my relatives will recognize a piece of who they are and who they were. Perhaps some will be inspired to learn more about their culture. Perhaps others will be inspired to pick up a needle and thread and tell their own story of survival.” ]]>

		<![CDATA[ Red-Eyed Vireo (top) - Voice: Robin-like, rich and fruity. Pace and duration: Steady and energetic, sometimes incessant (for hours). Phrases: Usually three syllables.

Blue-headed Vireo (below) - Voice: Slightly thinner and weaker than red-eyed vireo, somewhat forced from the “back of the throat.” Pace and duration: Slower, more reticent; the blue-headed often stops singing (even in the morning). Phrases: Includes more two-syllable phrases, notably a cute, recognizable see-ya (often at the end of each iteration). ]]>

		<![CDATA[ Prior to the advent of trucks in the woods in the mid-1930s, horse-drawn sleds transported pulpwood from the forest to the railroad or river. Loggers and teamsters loved to set records for the largest load. On March 4, 1925, The Coos County Democrat reported “another record breaker.” Slim Frank, “King of the Forest,” drove a load of 10 cords, 88 feet of pulp, with one pair of horses 4.5 miles from Groveton Paper’s Lyman Brook Valley Camp to George’s Siding, where it was loaded onto freight cars. This photo was taken in the Moosehead Lake region of Maine. Photo courtesy of the Moosehead Historical Society. ]]>

		<![CDATA[ Like sugar maple leaves, the fins and bellies of male brook trout turn orange in fall. Males develop an upward hook in the lower jaw as they age, called a kype. This, along with sharp, saw-like teeth, helps in battles with other males as they jostle for breeding position. Note the white markings on the front edge of this big male’s fins; the white can be used to distinguish eastern brook trout from other trout species.

		<![CDATA[ Elm flowers are perfect - that is, each flower has both female (pistil) and male (stamen) parts. When the pistil matures, it stands above the stamens to catch foreign pollen, thus promoting cross-pollination and genetic diversity. Later in the flower&#039;s development, the stamens grow and surround the pistil. If cross-pollination has not occurred, self-pollination takes place. ]]>

The tree that produced this board was tapped so heavily that it had almost no white wood left, so it would have been almost impossible to find a productive area on this face of the tree.

What was once a hayfield (flat terrain in the center) became a beaver meadow 30 years ago and has grown up to alders and wetland grasses. The pasture in the foreground saw its last cows five years ago, and its brambles and junipers will soon give way to early successional saplings. Photo by Stephen Long. ]]>
