    The Last to Leave
    A researcher in Ohio was surrounded by hundreds of dead ash trees. They had been wiped out by this beetle called the emerald ash borer. But then, in that same forest, she found a lone tree thriving. Could this tree be the key to saving ash from extinction?
  • Nic Theisen, co-owner of Loma Farm and Farm Club, plants brussels sprouts with employee Dexter Lamie. (credit: Dan Wanschura / Points North)
    Labor of Mixed Emotions
    For more than 20 years, Nic Theisen has spent his days on his hands and knees in the dirt farming. It’s a tough way to make a living, and for years Nic didn’t always know if the farm would make it. Until something big changed.
  • In 2022, Peter and Annica Quakenbush bought 20 acres of woods in West Michigan. Their hope was to create a conservation burial forest – a place that would both preserve the forest and give people the option to be buried in nature. But not everyone was on board with that idea.

    A Natural Ending
    Peter Quakenbush’s dream is to create a conservation burial forest – a place that would both preserve the woods and give people the option to be buried in nature. But not everyone is on board with that idea.
  • [Un]Natural Selection is a special series from Points North where we examine our role as part of the ecosystem and explore the ethical line between mending our natural world and meddling with it. (logo design by Erin O'Malley)
    Frankenfish
    Lake trout are on life support in Lake Michigan. Every year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spends tens of millions of dollars raising and stocking them. But what if there was another way: genetic engineering. Could it be used for conservation?
  • In January, a hunter in southern Michigan shot and killed a federally endangered gray wolf. He said it was an accident – that he thought it was a coyote. This picture has been partially redacted to protect his identity.(credit: Michigan Department of Natural Resources)
    Shooting a Unicorn
    Two guys are hunting coyotes in Michigan. All of a sudden, they say they lure in the biggest coyote they’ve ever seen and kill it. But, it turns out, it’s not a coyote at all; it’s a federally endangered gray wolf about 300 miles from its normal habitat. So, how did the wolf get there? And did the hunters play any role in it?
