Welcome to the High Wood

Writing about the seasons, cycles, and fatherhood as my wife and I maintain my childhood forest is dear to me, and knowing you care about the endeavor means more to me than you may well know.


This newsletter has four elements:

  1. “Echoes from an Old Hollow Tree” - a free weekly reflection on the changing seasons. This is the heart of the newsletter. Released Sunday mornings.

  2. “Reports from the High Wood” - an occasional journal of the projects we complete and the challenges we face while reclaiming and maintaining our long neglected pine and maple forest and while continuing our family tradition of beekeeping. These are more common in summer when projects are plentiful. These are exclusive to paid subscribers.

  3. “Field Notes from the Heart of Vermont” - an occasional heartfelt essay about the beauty of my rural county for paid subscribers.

  4. “Tales of Hearth Hall” - the rare short story set in a fantastical version of my hometown. Paid subscribers get early access to these and the opportunity to give feedback that is always incorporated.
