Researching nonfiction writing about where you call home is one way of appreciating conservation challenges. Focusing on how this work is enriched by daily dog walks, Susan McHugh’s talk ponders an idiosyncratic collection of evidence of more-than-human comings and goings, witnessed on two feet, accompanied by four more, in the first two decades of the twenty-first century, at the southeastern edge of the Great North Woods.

This talk is part of the 7th Annual Animal Studies Summer Institute.
