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.

In the new year, resolve to get outside, be still, listen and observe. And revisit Jane Yolen's Owl Moon for inspiration to go owling.

New to cutting your own tree at a Christmas tree farm? Thinking of a different variety this year? Here's some insight into what you need to know.
-
Shed antlers provide nutrients to a whole host of forest-dwellers, and are an important part of the entire forest ecosystem.
-
The rough-legged hawk is an Arctic visitor that spends the winter in New Hampshire. It has a unique ability to hover in mid-air while hunting, and can track its prey using UV vision.
-
Beaver dams create an entire ecosystem that allows birds, insects and other animals to flourish. That’s why beavers are a keystone species; their presence improves habitat. But what's it like under all the sticks and mud of a beaver lodge?
-
Permission to put down the rake. It's a win-win for you and the forest eco-system this fall.
-
We take for granted the colorful foliage every year in N.H. But some 30,000 acres of oak forest were defoliated this summer by the re-emergence of lymantria, an invasive species. How will this affect our color this fall?
-
Merlins, small falcons, used to be found only in northern N.H.. They have been expanding their breeding range south across New England over the past several decades.
-
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?
-
It's late August, and the leaves are already starting to change. And that flush of red you’re seeing likely comes from the red maple, also known as “swamp” or “soft maple.”
