The North American river otter population is doing swimmingly! They are found in abundance in New Hampshire’s waterways, but they can be hard to spot until winter brings them out to play on the ice and snow.

From unexpected sightings in backyard gardens to near-misses – or worse – on our roads, white-tailed deer seem to be everywhere. A decade-long study is uncovering new insights about this iconic creature of eastern forests.

As part of Something Wild's 25th anniversary, we revisit one of our favorite episodes from 2020. Learning about where native bats roost in winter can help us protect the bat population in N.H.

This has been an epic season for finding mushrooms. We're just beginning to learn how important the fungi kingdom is for forest health.

Autumn in New Hampshire is a wonderful time to watch and observe some easily recognizable stages of natural cycles. But we should note that there are varying degrees of “cyclical” activity that can be quite complicated.

N.H.’s osprey population, in jeopardy forty years ago, now thrives. We talk about the key to the raptor’s success with a researcher who monitors the population, and find out how to identify an osprey as it migrates.

We don't often think of trees when we speak of harvest. But as a society, we consume forest products as much as we do farm products. And sometimes when a tree comes down, it's to make room for another tree.

The sound of crickets invokes warm summer evenings; Nathanial Hawthorne called it "audible stillness." By listening closely to the cricket song, and doing some math, you can determine how warm it is!

In our series about Mount Washington’s ecological zones, we explore the distinctly different forest zones on the flanks of Mt. Washington, and discover why birch trees shed their bark.

New England’s highest peak is unforgiving above treeline. But for some species of flora and fauna, the alpine zone provides exactly what they need to survive.
