Something Wild has been exploring the wonder of the landscape that surrounds us in New Hampshire for over 25 years!
From the many birds that call our state home, to the trees around New Hampshire that have been granted "Big Tree" status, to stone walls that punctuate the state, we explain the behavior and science behind what we see and hear (and might take for granted) in our backyards.
Something Wild is produced by Jessica Hunt.

It can be hard to embrace the transition to fall, with shorter days and cooler temperatures. The subtle songs of birds in fall is a sweet reminder of summer if you listen carefully.
-
As the fall approaches, wasps and hornets get more aggressive. How can you tell what's buzzing around, and when is it safe to get rid of a nest?

The eastern brook trout requires clear, cold water. And that means that ample forest cover is essential.
-
When it's hazy, hot and humid, a good thunderstorm can provide welcome relief. But what are the main elements that cause thunderstorms, hail and lightning?
-
An opportunity to protect and improve the trails on N.H.’s beloved Mount Monadnock, while learning new skills and helping to make the outdoors more welcoming for all.
