City of Thunder Bay encourages residents to be ‘Bear Wise’ with new garbage carts
As bears emerge from hibernation, a Thunder Bay resident has raised concerns about the City of Thunder Bay’s new wheeled garbage carts. As an initial phase-in, the city introduced roughly a quarter of the carts to residential households in 2025 — the remaining carts are being rolled out this month and will come into use the first we...

Thank you, Rob Pike, for posting this.

I am in a different field, and of little importance in that field, so it is preposterous of me to comment here, forgive me. But I wish to express how much energy I gain from reading your post.

The wave of inauthenticity is all-encompassing. I spent some four decades as a university teacher, with immense pride, only to see the very notion of teaching and education destroyed before my eyes. My friends in other professions experience the same.

I still hope for reversal.

Your message is one of sadness and loss, but is also a sign of resistance. As one of the true pathbreakers and arbiters of good taste in your field and beyond, your voice gives strength to others who try to hold on to notions of authenticity, simplicity, elegance, humility.

We pray these professional values will survive the long winter we are currently experiencing.

When Do Marmots Come Out of Hibernation in Wisconsin

Most people picture Groundhog Day and assume Wisconsin's marmots stir from sleep in early February — but that folk tradition does not reflect what actually happens underground across the state. In reality, Wisconsin's woodchucks follow a much longer and more physiologically demanding schedule, one tied closely to soil temperature, fat reserves, and the slow return of spring warmth. Whether you're a backyard naturalist, a curious hiker, or simply someone who spotted a stocky brown animal […]

When Do Marmots Come Out of Hibernation in West Virginia?

West Virginia's rolling hills, open pastures, and woodland edges are home to one of North America's most fascinating hibernators — the groundhog, or woodchuck, the state's native marmot. If you've noticed the fields and fence rows looking a little quiet through winter, that's because these stocky mammals have been tucked underground in a deep, physiological sleep since the colder months set in. Once temperatures begin to climb and the first hints of spring arrive, marmots stir back to life […]

When Do Marmots Come Out of Hibernation in Vermont?

Vermont winters are long, cold, and unforgiving — and one of the state's most familiar wild neighbors simply opts out of the whole season. The woodchuck, Vermont's native marmot, seals itself underground in October and doesn't resurface until the snow begins to loosen its grip in early spring. If you've been watching a field edge or a stone wall and wondering when that familiar round silhouette will reappear, you're in the right place. This guide walks you through Vermont's marmot species, […]

When Do Marmots Come Out of Hibernation in Virginia?

If you've been watching a quiet burrow entrance in your backyard or along a rural fence line, waiting for signs of life, you're probably wondering when Virginia's marmots finally shake off winter and get moving again. The answer is closer to early spring than most people expect — and the timing tells you a lot about how these animals survive. Virginia is home to one true marmot species, and understanding its hibernation and emergence cycle can help you know exactly when and where to look. […]

When Do Marmots Come Out of Hibernation in Texas?

Texas is home to an astonishing variety of wildlife — from rattlesnakes in the scrublands to black bears in the mountains — but few animals surprise visitors quite as much as the marmot. Most people associate these chunky, whistle-calling rodents with the Rocky Mountains or the Pacific Northwest, yet Texas has its own quiet connection to this remarkable hibernator. If you've ever wondered whether marmots live in the Lone Star State, when they disappear underground for winter, or when you […]
