The St Johnsbury CDJR Outdoor Edge Show

What’s Happening Behind the Scenes at NH Fish and Game

This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Outdoor Edge, we’re talking stewardship, outdoor access, and the importance of connecting future generations to the outdoors. Gary Moore sits down with Mark Beauchesne of New Hampshire Fish and Game to discuss landowner relations, public access, conservation education, and the impact of the Barry Conservation Camp. From building relationships with landowners to helping young people experience the outdoors firsthand, it’s a conversation rooted in the traditions and future of outdoor recreation in New England. We also head into the backyard for our Spring Backyard Report, where we talk with the Pollinator Pathway about creating healthier habitats for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators right at home. Whether you’ve got acres of land or just a small garden, there are simple ways to help local ecosystems thrive. Plus, Mark Breen from the Fairbanks Museum joins us with your Outdoor Edge Forecast to help you plan your time outside. 🎧 Learn More about Pollinator Pathway at: https://www.pollinator-pathway.org [https://www.pollinator-pathway.org] 🌦️ Forecasts from the Fairbanks Museum: https://fairbanksmuseum.org [https://fairbanksmuseum.org] #OutdoorEdge #WYKR #NHFishAndGame #MarkBeauchesne #BarryConservationCamp #OutdoorEducation #LandownerRelations #Conservation #PollinatorPathway #Pollinators #BackyardHabitat #VermontOutdoors #NewHampshireOutdoors #NorthCountry #OutdoorForecast #FairbanksMuseum #Stewardship #NewEnglandOutdoors #NaturePodcast #OutdoorLife Special Thanks to this Episode's Sponsors: * R and L Archery [https://www.rlarchery.com/] * Northeast Kingdom Online [https://www.northeastkingdomonline.com/] * Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department [https://www.vtfishandwildlife.com/] * Riverside Designworks PLC [https://www.riversidedw.com/] * Miles Supply [https://www.milessupply.com/] * CCR Sports [https://ccrsports.net/] * Batchelder Carpentry [https://www.vtcarpenter.com/] And Of Course:  * Saint Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram [https://www.stjohnsburycdjr.com/]

Brook Trout, Pike, and the Future of NEK Fisheries

This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Outdoor Edge, we’re talking spring in the Northeast Kingdom—from the streams and lakes to the backyard. Gary Moore sits down with Jud Kratzer, fisheries biologist with Vermont Fish & Wildlife based in St. Johnsbury. Jud discusses managing Northeast Kingdom fisheries, habitat restoration projects, fisheries research, and what anglers are seeing this time of year—from brook trout to northern pike. If you enjoy fishing the waters of Vermont and New Hampshire, this is a conversation worth hearing. We’re also launching our brand-new Spring Backyard Report with Billy Dickey from Dick’s Field and Tree, talking about getting your property ready for spring, cleanup season, and making the most of the warmer weather ahead.

The Stories Behind One of New England’s Most Loved Mountains

This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Outdoor Edge, we bring together a mix of North Country history and springtime tradition. Gary Moore sits down with Robert W. Averill, longtime historian and author focused on Mount Moosilauke, to explore the stories, people, and legacy behind one of the region’s most iconic mountains. From early visitors to the evolution of the trails and traditions, it’s a conversation that adds a whole new layer to a place many of us know well. We also head out into the field for our Sugaring Report, this time visiting Oliver’s Sugarhouse in West Groton, where we talk with Troy Oliver about how the maple season is shaping up and what it’s been like on the ground as the sap starts to run.
