4 events,With coffee in his belly and his trusty chainsaw roaring to life, we'll spend the day dancing with oaks and tangling with timber. It’s a rhythmic, high-stakes game of “will this log split with one swing or three?” Clearing the woods with precision, turning fallen giants into manageable piles. The air is thick with the … A pair of leather gloves, a slightly dull sickle, and the delusional optimism of a sunny morning. My mission: take down a small army of Asian Honeysuckle, Canadian thistle and Honey Locust that had declared themselves rulers of this kingdom. Now, if only I could find where I dropped my water bottle... Building and repairing fence is less of a job and more of a "forced romance" between me and a thousand pounds of unruly metal wire. The day usually starts with a "fence check," which is just polite terminology for finding problems and not redeemable for cash. I head out armed with a wire stretcher—my magical, … There’s no smell quite like freshly cut cedar in springtime, especially when the sap is running and it’s acting like glue-remover on the bark! I’m standing here in the middle of my clearing, bark-spud in hand, looking at a pile of cedar that's about to become the sturdy structures for future projects. I start at … |

4 events,Foraging for morels is part Easter egg hunt, part high-stakes treasure hunt, and 100% woodland magic! When spring wakes up, these brainy, honeycomb-textured treasures pop up around dead elms or in old orchards, playing hide-and-seek with your eyes. It’s a "springy" adventure where we find ourselves walking like a zombie, staring intently at the ground, … |
5 events,Weaning piglets is basically a rowdy piglet graduation ceremony—complete with graduation screams! It is the high-energy process of transitioning piglets from an all-you-can-drink warm milk buffet to "big pig" food. The separation from mom causes a chorus of loud, characteristic "calls" as they realize the milk bar is closed. Piglets spend the first few days … |
6 events,As the winter chill finally breaks, the Eastern Redbud stages a breathtaking, magenta-pink magic trick! Often called the "harbinger of spring," these cheerful understory trees don't bother waiting for leaves to appear. Instead, they explode in a profusion of rosy, pea-shaped blossoms that cover their bare branches and even sprout directly from the trunk in … |

6 events,Breeding occurs earlier in the year, peaking from mid-February into early March, with a gestation period of roughly 60 to 63 days. April through May is a high-activity period as parents hunt more to feed their young, often leading to increased sightings and potential conflicts. Both parents care for the pups, which start emerging from … |

7 events,Spring turkey hunting is essentially a high-stakes, caffeine-fueled chess match played in a sunrise-lit, waking forest. It is arguably one of the most interactive hunts, where you are not just waiting, but actively screaming (via calls) at a bird that often screams back in a boisterous, adrenaline-pumping gobble that makes the hair on your neck … |
8 events,When the dogwoods bloom, it's as if the forest decided to throw a fancy white-and-pink party to celebrate spring! These trees shake off the winter blues, covering their branches in showy, star-shaped bracts (which are actually modified leaves, not petals!) before the green foliage even appears. It’s a brief, magical, two-week spectacle that makes … |

9 events,Most does produce twins after their first year. Newborns are hidden in dense cover or tall grass for the first few weeks to avoid predators and are often left alone by the mother, which is normal. They can walk within hours and begin following their mothers after about a month. Appearance: Newborns have spots and … |
