Jennie Curran-Wage

Greetings! I am Jennie Curran-Wage. I live along the river, in the mountains, and among the trees. I am from the beautiful and vibrant Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts. I became a resident of the Great North Woods area of New Hampshire with my husband, Jim, and our crazy lovable German Shepherd, Madison. I am a scenic and wildlife photographer, and I am so fortunate to have beautiful places to explore right in my own backyard. I enjoy writing and journaling, and connecting with Nature through meditation and creating. My love for the White Mountains of NH lead me to become a volunteer Alpine Steward through AMC (Appalachian Mountain Club) so that I can help educate about the importance of preserving our sacred lands. My passion is in the great outdoors. If you see me out on a trail, I’ll be sure to greet you!
