The Winter Issue has Launched!

Written By Beth Nobles

The second issue of our Nature Book Guide launched this morning, and it contains twenty pages of recommendations from scientists, naturalists, and stewards of the land—ready for you to enjoy on these long winter days. You can read a copy (always free) from our Downloads page.

Joining the Book Recommendation Panel this issue, is Dennis Vásquez, Deputy Director of the City of Albuquerque’s Parks and Recreation Department. Before retiring from the National Park Service, Dennis served as superintendent for a number of parks including White Sands National Park, Bandelier National Monument, Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site, Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and Petroglyph National Monument.

We were thrilled to include an author interview with Erich Hoyt, who wrote the illuminating and beautiful book, Planktonia: The Nightly Migration of the Ocean’s Smallest Creatures, a 2022 release from Firefly Books. A brief version of the interview appears on page 18 of the Winter issue, and a longer version is available as a separate download from our Downloads page.
