The wolf is young, strong and hungry. The little girl is alone, vulnerable and completely unaware of the danger surrounding her.But something is wrong.The wolves do not attack.Instead, the girl discovers a trapped wolf pup and risks herself to save it. As she frees the helpless animal, the relationship between human and wolf changes. The wolves accept her. The forest falls silent. And something ancient begins to awaken beneath the earth.A tiny green shoot emerges from the soil.Fenrir watches as the wolves celebrate around the child and realises that he has witnessed something extraordinary: the beginning of a new spirit of nature.Something has been born.Something green.Something young.Something that will one day become a Dryad.But Fenrir does not yet understand what this tiny plant will become, or how its fate will eventually become connected to Dreana, the mysterious girl of Brotonne Forest, the ancient oak, and the werewolf mythology surrounding William Marshal's medieval adventure.Werewolf the Podcast: A Serial (Killer) Drama – Episode 273 continues the medieval supernatural story of William Marshal, Fenrir and the ancient wolf spirits of Brotonne Forest.This episode combines werewolf mythology, medieval fantasy, dark folklore, nature spirits, Dryads, ancient forests, wolf legends and supernatural historical fiction.Perfect for fans of:• Werewolf stories• Dryads and tree spirits• Wolf mythology• Medieval fantasy• Dark fantasy• European folklore• Nature mythology• Supernatural horror• Historical fantasy• Audio dramas and fiction podcastsA human child saves a wolf.The wolves accept her.The forest awakens.And somewhere beneath the earth...a Dryad begins to dream.Written by Fenrir Thorvaldsen and Gregory Alexander-Sharp.

Send us Fan MailWilliam Marshal's hunt for the Beast of Brotonne Forest takes an unexpected turn when Fenrir finally reunites with his ancient wolf brother, Volchor.Deep within the legendary Brotonne Forest, the truth behind the attacks is revealed. The beast is not a monster hunting villagers, but an ancient guardian protecting the memory of a Dryad whose sacred oak was destroyed by Norman settlers.As Volchor recounts centuries of grief, Fenrir discovers that the Dryad Dreana survives—but as a human child with no memory of her former life. The church itself has unknowingly been built from the timbers of her ancient tree, leaving William Marshal facing an impossible choice between protecting innocent villagers or preserving one of the oldest spirits in Europe.Inspired by medieval history, Norman France, Celtic mythology and European folklore, this chapter explores the origins of Dryads, ancient wolf spirits and the cost of civilisation as William Marshal uncovers one of the greatest mysteries of Brotonne Forest.Perfect for fans of:• Werewolf stories• Medieval fantasy• William Marshal• Dark fantasy• Historical fiction• Celtic mythology• Dryads and tree spirits• Norman history• Arthurian legend• Supernatural horrorWerewolf the Podcast: A Serial (Killer) Drama is a long-running medieval horror fantasy podcast combining real history, folklore, mythology, comedy and supernatural mystery into one continuing story.Written by Fenrir Thorvaldsen and Gregory Alexander-Sharp.

There was a time when everything on the internet seemed like it would be there forever, whether a Facebook status or a government website. But today the prospect of maintaining massive amounts of digital history is in doubt. This poses a particular issue for the open science movement, which has advocated for wide access to scientific data and papers over the last 25 years. The movement's successes have led to the creation of digital research infrastructure such as data libraries and preservation systems that serve large and small research communities. Now, as the system is maturing, it's becoming clear that open science isn't free: it requires investment and significant effort to stay alive. Without it, open research cannot be verified or advanced. On this episode, host Megan Nicholson is joined by Jen Gibson and Kaitlin Thaney, authors of “Who Will Keep Research Data Infrastructure Open and Running?” in our Spring 2026 issue. Gibson is the executive director of Dryad, an open-access international research data repository and curation service. Thaney is the executive director of Invest in Open Infrastructure, a nonprofit that advances open-source solutions and systems for research communities.

Every wildfire starts small. The problem is that by the time most are detected, minutes have already passed and, under increasingly common conditions driven by a warming climate, a fire can grow beyond any tanker truck's capacity to contain. The gap between ignition and coordinated response currently averages around 40 minutes. Firefighters have long understood the math: a spoonful of water in the first second, a bucket in the first minute, a truckload in the first hour. The XPRIZE Wildfire competition is an $11 million global effort to prove that autonomous systems, including AI-enabled drones, ground-based sensor networks, and space-based detection platforms, can collapse that window to 10 minutes. Our guest is Andrea Santy, who leads the program. She came to XPRIZE after nearly two decades at the World Wildlife Fund, where she watched conservation projects fall to wildfire. That experience sharpened her understanding of the stakes: wildfires are now the leading driver of deforestation globally, having surpassed agriculture. In places like the Amazon, the Congo Basin, and parts of tropical East Asia, a single fire can eliminate species found nowhere else on Earth. In cities, it can destroy entire neighborhoods in hours. On January 7, 2025, Santa Ana winds drove flames through Pacific Palisades and Altadena, destroying more than 16,000 structures, killing 30 people, displacing 180,000 residents, and generating between $76 billion and $130 billion in total economic losses from a single event. Annual U.S. wildfire costs, when healthcare, lost productivity, ecosystem damage, and rebuilding are included, are estimated between $394 billion and $893 billion. XPRIZE announced the five autonomous wildfire response finalists just over a year after the LA fires: Anduril, deploying its Lattice AI platform with autonomous fire sentry towers and Ghost X drones; Dryad, running solar-powered mesh sensor networks that detect fires at the smoldering stage; Fire Swarm Solutions, coordinating heavy-lift drone swarms that can deliver 100 gallons of water autonomously; Data Blanket, building rapidly deployable drone swarms for real-time perimeter mapping and suppression; and Wildfire Quest, a team of high school students from Valley Christian High School in San Jose who used multi-sensor triangulation to locate fires that can't be seen from monitoring positions, solving the literal over-the-hill problem that any fire detection system faces.The conversation covers what the finalists demonstrated during semi-final trials at 40-mile-per-hour winds, why the decoy fire requirement — distinguishing a wildfire from a barbecue, a pile burn, or a flapping tarp — is one of the hardest AI classification problems in the competition, and how autonomous systems would integrate with existing incident command structures. Santy is direct about where progress is lagging: the testing is ahead of the regulations. Autonomous drones operating beyond visual line of sight and coordinating with manned aircraft in active fire emergencies require FAA frameworks that don't yet exist at the necessary scale. There's also the deeper ecological tension — the growing scientific consensus that many fire-adapted landscapes need more fire, not less, and that indigenous fire stewardship practices developed over millennia have a place alongside autonomous suppression technology. One XPRIZE finalist is already working with an indigenous community in Canada to pilot their heavy-lift drone system in a remote area where that community is exploring how the technology fits their land management approach. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's FY 2026 budget proposes eliminating Forest Service state fire capacity grants, cutting vegetation and watershed management programs by 30%, and zeroing out $300 million in forest research funding — maintaining suppression spending while gutting the prevention and detection infrastructure that could reduce what there is to suppress. The engineering, Santy says, has arrived. Whether the institutions can move at the speed the crisis demands is the harder question.You can learn more about XPRIZE Wildfire and follow the finalists at xprize.org/competitions/wildfire.
Clodagh, Trepp, Rova, and Kidana push onward through the bleak Ashen Expanse, their path leading to the quiet village of Sabel.

Tonight, for our monthly Snoozecast+ Deluxe episode, we'll read the tale “Old Pipes and the Dryad” by Frank R. Stockton and published in 1894. Stockton was a popular American writer best known for his whimsical and gently satirical fairy tales. His most famous story, “The Lady, or the Tiger?”, posed a famously unsolvable riddle and brought him wide acclaim. But many of his lesser-known tales, like tonight's, are just as imaginative and charming. Stockton often gave mythological or magical elements a lighthearted twist, grounding them in everyday human kindness or folly. In classical mythology, a dryad is a tree spirit or nymph—typically female—who is bound to a particular tree, often an oak. The Greeks believed dryads were shy and long-lived, emerging only when their tree was especially old or under threat. Over time, the dryad became a symbol of the forest itself—an embodiment of nature's quiet, watchful presence. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

What if we could detect and suppress wildfires within minutes—not hours? In this episode of All Things Wildfire, we sit down with Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Dryad Networks, to explore the cutting-edge technology redefining wildfire defense. From solar-powered IoT sensors that detect fires in their earliest stages to SilverGuard, an autonomous drone system poised to revolutionize fire suppression, this conversation dives deep into the future of wildfire resilience. We uncover how parametric insurance could reshape wildfire risk models and why collaboration between tech innovators and insurance providers is essential. Carsten shares Dryad's bold vision: a world where wildfires are extinguished before they can spread—using AI, sound wave suppression, and a fast-reacting web of intelligent systems. Key Takeaways: Dryad's SilverNet detects ignition in minutes—before smoke is even visible. 85% of wildfires are caused by human activity, increasing the need for early intervention. Parametric insurance may unlock faster claims and incentivize prevention tech. Autonomous drones and sound wave suppression may be the future of firefighting. A call for industry collaboration to achieve fully integrated wildfire response systems. If you're in wildfire prevention, insurance, or technology—this is a must-listen episode.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Series Fatigue: The Dryad Storm by Laurie Forest Being excited about a new release can be scary. Being excited about a new release that is ALSO the conclusion to the series is another level of excited/scary. When that new release that is also the conclusion of the series then turns out to be a DNF for BOTH Laura Marie and Jessica Marie, then the question becomes? Was it them? or Is it really that bad? The Black Witch Chronicles comes to an end with The Dryad Storm, the book that was such a DNF that is sparked a question about fatigue and the willingness to journey through the slog. How much is the reader's time worth? When do you take ownership of your reading and acknowledge that you are not having fun? What other series suffer from series fatigue? If any? All that and more is discussed as ACOFAE Laura and ACOFAE Jessica pinpoint where the series lost them and why. "Anything for the pod, but not this."

How can cutting-edge technology help combat one of the most devastating contributors to climate change? In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO and co-founder of Dryad Networks, to explore the innovative solutions his company is bringing to wildfire detection and forest health monitoring. Dryad's groundbreaking “Internet of Trees” uses AI-powered sensors, solar energy, and IoT networks to address the challenges of forest management on a global scale. Carsten shares the inspiration behind Dryad Networks, which stemmed from the catastrophic 2018 wildfires and his drive to tackle the staggering statistic that wildfires account for up to 20% of global CO2 emissions. We dive into the technology powering Dryad's solutions, including small, solar-powered gas sensors that act as "electronic noses," detecting wildfire indicators like hydrogen and carbon monoxide far earlier than traditional methods. These sensors, supported by AI and machine learning, operate on edge computing to provide ultra-early detection even in the most remote areas. Beyond wildfire prevention, Carsten explains how the technology is transforming forest management. From soil moisture monitoring and illegal logging prevention to tree growth tracking and CO2 sequestration measurement, the possibilities of Dryad's network extend far beyond fire detection. With their recent strategic partnership with Kinéis, Dryad is now integrating satellite connectivity to expand deployment into previously unreachable regions. As we discuss the future, Carsten outlines Dryad's ambitious goal to prevent 3.9 million hectares of forest from burning by 2030, saving an estimated 1.7 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions. This conversation underscores the power of AI and IoT in addressing pressing global issues and highlights the potential of technology to drive real-world impact. What role do you think technology like this will play in combating climate change? Can AI and IoT truly transform how we protect and manage our forests? Share your thoughts and join the conversation!
Carsten Brinkschulte is the CEO of Dryad, a company that leverages AI to detect wildfires early and prevent catastrophic damage. Carsten shares his journey from a telecom entrepreneur to climate tech innovator, explaining how Dryad's solar-powered sensors and mesh networks detect wildfires at their inception and transmit real-time alerts to their customers. He also discusses the technical challenges of embedding machine learning into low-cost sensors, the importance of collaborating with public and private stakeholders, and the evolving landscape of wildfire detection technology. Carsten provides advice for aspiring climate tech entrepreneurs, emphasizing the need to align impact with profitability.
