NHPTV Connections 10 Wild (Wonderful) Years of Will & Windows to the Wild! From Allagash to Iceland to Boston’s Emerald Necklace to Monadnock, NHPTV’s award-winning series returns for its 10th season with all new adventures! Join Will as he hikes, paddles and explores New England and even the world, and meets people who share his love of the outdoors.
Season 10 • Wednesdays • 7:30 PM NHPTV PRIME • Three New Episodes This Month! On Belay Kids Hike
To mountain climbers, “belay” means to secure someone from falling. On Belay is a NH-based nonprofit that offers adventurebased programs for youths who have a family member with cancer. Will hikes Mt. Willard in NH’s White Mountains with an On Belay group that’s discovering community and resilience.
Premieres October 1 • 7:30 PM on NHPTV PRIME An Unusual Hiking Duo - Buffalo and Tough Cookie
Avid hiker Dan Szczesny and his wife “adopted” the two kids who lived next door to them. Dan and now-teenaged Janelle have been hiking NH peaks ever since, and Dan wrote a book about their experiences. Will hikes Mt. Magalloway with Buffalo and Tough Cookie, as they’re known on the trail.
Premieres October 15 • 7:30 PM on NHPTV PRIME Discover the Emerald Necklace
Boston’s Emerald Necklace offers nature’s glory in an urban setting. It’s a “selfpreserving instinct of civilization,” in the words of Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed it and Central Park. Will says of his guides, “It was hard not to be impressed by their enthusiasm for the place. All of them expressed their delight with such a peaceful place where it was possible to get away from the bustle and stress of the urban pace all around.”

10 + 80 = Wow!
On October 1st, the 10th season of Windows to the Wild begins. It’s been an adventure-filled decade for viewers and Will Lange! He’s hiked, paddled, skied and even soared all over New England and beyond, and introduced us to people (and animals) who love the outdoors. We want to celebrate this exciting anniversary with you and all Windows to the Wild fans. When Will attended our Passport Craft Beer & Food Pairing Tour (a sold-out success!), we witnessed yet again how popular the show and Will are. He even ran into a bride and her mother who asked to have their photo taken with him! What are your favorite shows? We’d like to hear from you about them and if you’ve retraced any of our hikes. Meanwhile, Will’s got a list of his favorites and most memorable times, along with behind-the-scenes stories, to share with you. And, get ready for a double celebration in the spring when we’ll not only toast 10 Wild Years, but 80 Wild Years...when Will has his 80th birthday! Thanks for watching and supporting Will’s continuing adventures! Peter Frid, NHPTV President & CEO and NHPTV Member
