    The Giving Tree
    A brief conversation about chestnut trees sends a hospice nurse down a rabbit hole that changes his life.
  • George E. Bernier and other sled-dog mailmen in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in the 1870s. (courtesy: Jeff Annatoyn)
    Short: George Dreams of Wolves
    George Bernier spent long, cold nights as a sled dog mailman in Michigan’s wilderness in the 1800s. What did those nights sound like and feel like?
  • JP Kronschnabel blows on a frog to try to get it to jump during the Wisconsin State Frog Jump in July 2026. (credit: Dan Wanschura / Points North)
    The Last Jump
    A small Wisconsin village is known for one thing: frog jumping. This yearly cultural competition has been happening for over 70 years and brings out hundreds of people. But all that tradition is ending, due in part, to one woman who says her mission is protecting frogs.
  • Darren Bush and his wife, Stephanie Bush at Day Lake State Natural Area in northern Wisconsin.
    Short: Sittin' On Top of the Bell Curve
    Darren Bush has a rule about gifts. He won’t sell anything that was given to him. And, when the time is right, he will give that item to someone else. With one carbon-fiber paddle, that time came on a trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
  • Update: A Thank You Card
    Kevin Shafer's job is to prevent Milwaukee’s sewage from overflowing into Lake Michigan or people’s basements. After a Points North episode about him dropped, he got something unexpected in the mail.
