Spring 2025 cover of Project Upland Magazine
V7N1 of Project Upland Magazine Spring 2025

The Spring 2025 issue of Project Upland Magazine sets the tone for an exploration of the past, present, and future. The cover story is a stunning photographic exploration of the endangered Lesser Prairie Chicken. Stepping into the past, we try to solve the mystery of the extinction of what was once the most prolific game bird in North America—the Passenger Pigeon. On the notes of spring, we dabble in turkeys with a story of tradition and rich history, along with a Japanese-style turkey recipe from Jenny Nguyen-Wheatley. We go across the Atlantic to Germany to explore the country’s enduring dog culture, which continues to influence the United States today. We also have our usual suspects, like a great Italian recipe from Rossano Russo and our always-needed comic relief from Naomi Coates.

We hope this issue finds you with the edge of cabin fever gone along with the snow, and with thoughts of days spent with dogs, friends, and family.
