In Defense of Winter by Kevin Hagen
An editor's note defends winter, urging a positive attitude and practical steps. Hagen shares personal winter-won experience on a Wisconsin sheep farm near Spooner, praising dressing for cold, outdoor activities, nature study, and bird feeding. He cites guides by Stokes and Murie, endorses cross country skiing and snowshoeing, and argues winter offers beauty, wildlife insight, and respite from summer chores.
