Beautiful feathery flakes of snow
Over the woodland and field they go
Making a blanket so warm and deep
Over the flowers that lie asleep

"The fate of bears in many areas of the world will be decided in the next 10-20 years. The future of several species is in serious doubt. The elimination of bears from 50-75 percent of their historic range has already occurred and the remaining range will decrease unless serious efforts are focused on bear conservation."

Lieutenant J. J. Barnard of the British Navy was killed at Nulato while on a search for the lost Arctic explorer, Sir John Franklin. "Searching for the missing explorer along the Bering Sea coastline, Lieutenant Franklin heard rumors of white men around the village of Nulato; up the Yukon River. Barnard and the rest of his search party traveled to Nulato to investigate but discovered the rumors were just that; rumors. The search party spent the night at the Russian trading post in Nulato before heading back to their ship. That evening, a group of hostile Koyokuk Indians attacked the village and trading post killing Lieutenant Barnard and most of the Nulato Indians. This has come to be known as the Nulato Massacre."

"I held a blue flower in my hand, probably a wild aster, wondering what its name was, and then thought that human names for natural things are superfluous. Nature herself does not name them. The important thing is to know this flower, look at its color until the blends becomes as real as a keynote of music. Look at the exquisite yellow flowerettes at the center, become very small with them. Be the flower, be the trees, the blowing grasses. Fly with the birds, jump with a squirrel!"
