Restoring eastern hellbenders to southwest Virginia streams | NFWF
Although eastern hellbenders are the largest salamander in the United States, they can be hard to spot. These amphibians spend most of their time under flat rocks and boulders in streambeds, watching for crayfish, tadpoles, toads and water snakes. The water moves fast, but the hellbenders don’t travel far. One hellbender can sometimes be found under the same rock, year after year.

Timber, talons and the return of the swallow-tailed kite | NFWF
There is a moment, if you are lucky enough to see it, when a swallow-tailed kite turns above the treeline and everything else falls away.With its striking black-and-white wings and deeply forked tail that seems to steer like a ribbon in the wind, the bird seems almost unreal in flight. But for conservationists, foresters and landowners across the Southeast, the swallow-tailed kite is not only a beautiful sight, but a sign of a healthy, diverse forest landscape.

Helping turtles and amphibians cross the road for their “big night” | NFWF
Imagine the first signs of spring after a frigid winter: a mostly thawed ground, snowy days giving way to rainy nights, and longer, lighter evenings. These are the conditions in which frogs and salamanders emerge en masse from their winter habitats and migrate to nearby wetlands and vernal pools to breed. These so-called “big nights” are a remarkable natural event—and a dangerous one, as these migration routes can intersect with busy roadways.

Making room for wildlife through virtual fencing | NFWF
Making room for wildlife through virtual fencing | NFWF
Farmers and ranchers are often romanticized as living tranquil lives close to the land, guided by familiar rhythms and generations of tradition. The reality is far more demanding. Days are long. The work is physical. Vacations are exceedingly rare. And historically, one of the most grueling, time-consuming tasks has been managing the miles of fencing required to keep livestock where they need to be.
Restoring forests to give Appalachia’s former mine lands a second life | NFWF
Restoring forests to give Appalachia’s former mine lands a second life | NFWF
On a breezy morning in the Cumberland River basin, a bright tape loops across the ground while two field techs tally saplings. Counting sounds like roll call: “Oak! Pine! Cherry!” Each young tree earns a shout and a tally marking a forest that wasn’t here last year. On land that once fueled local economies through coal mining, those tallies now mark the beginning of a new chapter for both people and wildlife.Once mined for coal hiding underneath the hills, these lands now have a new role to play as healthy forests that protect water, wildlife and nearby towns.
