LYME, N.H. – Meghan McCarthy McPhaul has been named the next editor of Northern Woodlands magazine. McPhaul first wrote for northern Woodlands over a decade ago and has worked on the editorial staff since 2020. In her current role as associate editor, she edits the ecology series “The Outside Story” and the interview series “Community Voices” in addition to playing an essential part in the editing of the magazine.
As editor, McPhaul will oversee production and editorial direction of the magazine and related digital content, cultivate a growing network of writers, illustrators, and photographers and help develop special publishing projects in service to the nonprofit’s educational mission.

McPhaul’s new duties will officially begin December 1 and represent the natural continuation of her record of dedication and excellence at the CNWE. “I’ve admired “Northern Woodlands” since long before I wrote my first piece for the magazine a decade ago,” she says. “I’m looking forward to my shift in responsibilities within the organization and the opportunity to continue working with our fantastic team to create a publication filled with the good information, insight, and beauty our readers have come to expect.”
