So running in the woods, playing war, looking for bugs, and building forts was an immense part of my childhood. The greatest woods I ever roamed are at my cabin in Park Rapids, just four hours north of St. Paul. The colors of each season are so rich surrounding Bottle Lake. I do not know how to explain this innocent, untouched beauty. I liked to set off on a one-man exploration in an old, but trusted, kayak. I would trace the lake close to the shores, looking at all the rocks, fish, and…

In my opinion for New Brunswick does a terrible job at protecting our forests Less than 3% are currently protected. That is way below the bare minimum we need if we want to conserve our wildlife and wilderness values for the future. New Brunswick is second to last of all provinces in Canada in the amount of land we’ve protected. It’s nowhere near enough! To back this up in the last few years the deer population has been way down due to deforestation in 30 years the deer population has decreased…

Number Three, A Commentary The other night I had this dream: I was walking slowly through a forest, and I was completely alone. This forest was covered in a thick, deep, emerald blanket of moss which, naturally, felt like velvet on the bottoms of my bare feet. I took in my surroundings and noticed that I was in the company of the most gargantuan, towering trees ones imagination could ever fathom. Their bark paraded around each trunk as if its only job was to absorb every foreign sound and…

My wife as usual prepared a gourmet meal from what seemed too be a can of beans and we started a campfire for the evening. S?mores, ghost stories, and being reminded how beautiful the night sky can be. It all seemed so peaceful. Then came the scream. As if she had been shot, my wife?s face went pale, she became speechless and began pointing into the woods. The raccoons had come for desert. As we all started taking pictures and throwing them food her panic attacked continued. She grabbed…

No One's POV. Izzy is in the medium size oak wood cabin. She is sharpening her sword that is made out of a light metal material and the sword itself is easy to maneuver. She's in a Japanese sitting style on the polished wooden floor of her bedroom, dipping her light silver and blue handled sword into a bucket full of water. She's closely staring at her sword to see if it is clean from the blood that had almost stained it from an earlier mission. The blood from the sword disperses into the once…

The Unknowns Even if I, personally, adore the idea of skyscrapers made out of wood, the sensation of warmth you get when you walk into a wooden building, or all the benefits this planet would have if we would start constructing using wood more often, I cannot ignore the fact that there are many questions to be answered regarding the subject. Questions like, how high can we build or how is the building going to be protected against fire-considering that the main material is wood after all-,…

Elliot Porter is a writer and photographer. He found new ways to present the natural world. When I looked at his pictures, I felt like I was standing right next to him as he was taking the picture. “Path in the Woods,” reminded me of camping with my family when I was a young girl. My mother would take us for long walks in the woods. I remember how quiet everything was and thinking we were the first ones to ever be on the path. When I saw “Path in the Woods,” the path appeared untouched by human…

Once upon a time, there were three human sisters. Their names were Maia, Phoebe, and Megan. They lived in a great swirling forest, in a tiny cottage with only two rooms. Those two rooms were all they needed, for they only needed tools for when they were out, books and such, and a place to sleep. Phoebe was some few weeks past her thirteenth birthday, and animals loved her, as she loved them. She took her spare time to paint lustrous landscapes and fantastical storybook imagery. Her hope was…
