9 events,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 … 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, … 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.

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 … 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 … 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 … 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 … |

6 events,We'll turn our backyard’s pink explosion into something edible! With a big basket we'll strip some of the gorgeous magenta blooms from the Eastern Redbud branches—they taste surprisingly like tart. The result? A stunning, jewel-toned, jelly that smells slightly floral and tastes like a delicate blend of strawberry and grape. It’s sweet, floral, and … |

7 events,Hens typically lay their eggs in April and begin a 28-day incubation period, resulting in the hatching of young poults around this time. While most hatching occurs early, renesting attempts can lead to broods appearing as late as August. Young turkeys (poults) are mobile and able to feed themselves within a day or two of … |
