Foresters Bill Davidson and Kyle Lombard make up the two-person operation affectionately known as the Bug Patrol, and they make about five trips up in a tiny airplane each season. nhpr.org/nh-news/2022-08-08/…

In the winter, moose mostly eat woody plants but they’ll also scrape snow with their hooves to search for food. You may even see them along roadsides searching for salt! Photo by Tom Koerner/USFWS.

On Skiing: Safety, it’s up to us

No skier wants that toboggan ride on the slopes, columnist Dave Irons writes. We can avoid that need by following a few simple rules, mostly just common sense.

“Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither god nor poet; one need only own a shovel.” ― Aldo Leopold #quote Born #OTD 1887

We're honoring the legacy of a great leader and thinker, Aldo Leopold, who was born 135 years ago today. Among his best known ideas is the “land ethic,” which calls for an ethical, caring relationship between people and nature. go.usa.gov/x9UjG

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our retired police horse Valor.  After 17 years on patrol, he retired in August 2020. Recently he was diagnosed with Lymphoma, and declined rapidly.  The hard decision was made yesterday to put him down. RIP dear friend.

NH Fish & Game biologists are conducting a survey this March of the impact of winter ticks on moose in northern NH. If you have encountered multiple moose north of US Route 2 this Feb, please henry.jones@wildlife.nh.gov with the location (GPS coords in UMT is best). Thank you.
