A Woodland World

Bird Borough

There is a world in the woods that has been there all along.

Inside Bird Borough

Hidden in the Maine woods lies a community.

Deep in the woods of Maine, beyond the paths most humans notice, lies a community of old traditions, distinct neighborhoods, shared responsibilities, and stories passed from one generation to the next.

Bird Borough imagines the animals living beside us as citizens of a world shaped by belonging, disagreements, and the work of living together.

Neighborhoods

Distinct corners of the Borough give its citizens a place within the larger community.

Traditions

Customs and stories are carried from one generation to the next.

Responsibilities

Everyone has a part in the shared life of the Borough.

From the Naturalist’s Notes

“I first noticed that the animals were not moving randomly. Eventually, I began to wonder whether I was looking at wildlife at all—or at a community.”

The Great Perch is not a neighborhood.
No one lives there. Everyone belongs there.

The First Adventure

The Whispering Woods

Set within Bird Borough, The Whispering Woods is the first adventure now in development.

As the story grows, this page will become the place for introductions to its young heroes, glimpses of the Borough, and news from the project.
