Something Wild has been exploring the wonder of the landscape that surrounds us in New Hampshire for 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.
