From mezcal grown like a forest that endangered bats love to breadfruit orchards and growing trees with edible leaves, my editor’s pen worked on a lot of sustainable agriculture features this year for global environmental news service Mongabay.

Here’s my roundup of fascinating agroecology stories for 2023:

ice visions

A number of images from my Ice Visions series were acquired by Bates Museum of Art for its permanent collection recently: the pieces join some original Snowflake Bentley prints there in Maine, fittingly. Some were featured in the Winter 2023 issue of Orion magazine.

That acquisition news sparked a feature about the project on the national NPR program Living on Earth, which can be heard here.

I exhibited this series at the Bennington Museum in late 2021 after it appeared at the Brattleboro Museum during six months from 2020-21.

See sample images and a short film about my process of capturing these abstract images created by the ice fishing community at my gallery page, here:

I reported on the recent expansion in the U.S. of agroforestry—the world’s most climate- and biodiversity-friendly form of agriculture—for global environmental news site Mongabay, where I’m also an editor and podcast producer: I’ve interviewed top conservation photographer Ami Vitale and reported a feature about the growing conservation tech field of bioacoustics there, too, view these & more here.

In 2022, I published a photoessay in the essential Northern Woodlands magazine about the interesting human-hewn stone structures one finds while rambling the New England woods.
