Well, not quite =) But we were honored to be awarded 2nd place in the Wisconsin Newspaper Association’s annual awards, for Local Outdoor Column.

It’s been a great adventure writing for the Dunn County News. A friend, Erica Hanson, set up the connection that got us in the door, and since then we’ve written over 50 articles for the Dunn County News. Not ones to miss an opportunity to have some fun, we’ve been playful with the column, often seeing how much we can ‘get away with’ by writing about non-conventional subjects. We’ve written about the role of poop in nature (and in coffee drinking), about eating bugs, about the end of the world, about drinking breast milk, and much, much more. We’ve taken a broad view of what ‘nature’ is all about, including speculations on aliens, the origins of some of our modern crops, and how blindness can open up our appreciation of nature. Rebecca is the photographer, and I’m the writer (although, as always, my writing goes through the Rebecca-edit before it’s seen by the public).

At some point we hope to either post all of our articles on this site, or to self-publish a book. We’ll let you know if and when that comes about!
