MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced that the winter issue of Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine is now available in print and online. Winter in Wisconsin brings unique opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, and the latest issue is packed with stories to help you embrace the season.
Beautiful frozen features, from ice caves to icy waterfalls, can be viewed around the state in winter – the magazine highlights several to see. For gardeners, there are tips for choosing resilient plants that can weather Wisconsin’s shifting winters as climate change has an impact.
Conifer trees, bald eagles and sharp-tailed grouse are among the flora and fauna highlighted in this issue. And a spotlight shines on important work of the DNR, including warden rescue efforts and the vital role played by staff veterinarians who look out for Wisconsin’s fish and wildlife.
The winter issue cover story delves into wildlife science with a fascinating look at some of the ecology behind animal size and physical traits. And readers will find a pair of fun and useful do-it-yourself projects: making a holiday wreath from natural materials and building a wood duck nest box to help the species find a home come spring.
There’s much more to enjoy in the winter issue, including the 2026 Friends of Wisconsin State Parks calendar featuring photos of Wisconsin’s wonderful state parks.
