Submission Guidelines

The Whitebark Pine Ecosystem Foundation is always looking for news briefs and articles for our biannual newsletter, Nutcracker Notes. Here is a synopsis of what we’re looking for:

Study findings, including initial findings, or commentaries or news items relating to whitebark pine, limber pine, or any of the other high-elevation five-needle pines, written in an informal or at least relatively non-technical style for our rather broad audience.
Article length can be up to 1200-1300 words.
Digital black-and-white figures or black-and-white photos can accompany the articles. We use a few digital color photos with each issue, favoring subjects related to the articles.

Submit draft manuscripts in Microsoft Word format along with figures, pictures in jpg, pdf, and png format by April 1 for the Spring/Summer and by Nov 1 for the Fall/Winter issue to WPEF editor Bob Keane (bob.keane@whitebarkfound.org).

The editor will promptly make suggested changes–quite often minor—and return the manuscript to the author for approval.

Authors who are not subscribers to Nutcracker Notes can view previous issues–prior to the two most recent ones–listed above.
