Who’s not in their proper habitat?  The “Habitat Mix Up” pages of, Nature Smarts Workbooks (Ages7-9) may have been my favorite to illustrate.  

It’s hard to believe that one in four trees in the eastern US used to be an American chestnut.  Last year I ordered a sapling, and it just came in the mail this week.  Excited to have one in my yard, and hoping it makes it to 500 years.  

Before creating this panel for The Nature Conservancy in New Hampshire, I had no idea that giant rhododendrons where native to North America.  They are so big and showy, I assumed they were some exotic flower, but no, they are found throughout the Appalachian Mountain range.  New Hampshire is about as far north as they grow in the wild.   Makes me like the one planted outside my window even more.
