Something Wild: Why we’re seeing more fireflies this summer
Here’s why the third wettest spring on record in New Hampshire has made for a firefly renaissance this summer.
Something Wild has been exploring the wonder of the landscape that surrounds us in New Hampshire for over 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 hosted by Dave Anderson and Chris Martin, and is produced by Jessica Hunt. This program is made by New Hampshire Public Radio, in partnership with the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, and the New Hampshire Audubon.
