One of the North Country’s most interesting and beautiful creatures is the red fox. In this segment of North Woods Phenology, Jay Andersen, of WTIP North Shore Community Radio, speaks with local naturalist Chel Anderson about this very special canine.
As winter approaches beavers get busy building and storing. Spiders in an attempt to distance themselves from all the young they’ve birthed, take to the air. Jay Andersen, with WTIP North Shore Community Radio, talks with local phenologist Chel Anderson about building and ballooning.
Built on the steep, red-clay hills that rise up from the St. Louis River in Wisconsin, Mont du Lac opened in 1948, making it one of the oldest ski areas in the region. A new era began in 2008 for Mont du Lac when it was purchased by Larry and Donna Pulkrebec, owners of Field Logic, an archery and sporting goods manufacturer located in Superior, Wisc. They embarked on an ambitious plan to revamp the area’s recreational opportunities and to build a new, hilltop lodge. In this edition of Points North, Shawn tells the story of how Mont du Lac has rebuilt after a massive June flood which destroyed parts of the ski park.
One of the most active members of the weasel family is also the most fun to watch. Spring is a great time to observe their small-scale migratory patterns in our region. In this edition of North Woods Phenology, Jay Andersen, with WTIP North Shore Community Radio, speaks with local naturalist Chel Anderson about otter migration.
Traditionally, winter marks a period of stillness in the North Woods. However, the birds, squirrels, pine martens, foxes and other wildlife that make the snow-covered Arrowhead their home often break the stillness and can make the North Woods an exciting place during the winter months. In this edition of Of Woods and Words, Ada describes the interesting encounters and relationships that have formed between her winter neighbors.
