Not the most D&D focused issue of Dragon, with a Top Secret adventure module and some other content covering other TSR games including the Ares section which covers Science Fiction themed games, this still has plenty of content for D&D players.

We start off with a very long article about adventuring in the wilderness and how DMs might optimize this type of adventuring. Shaun Wilson brings us the Ecology of the Dryad, and Lenard Lakofka brings us two more Gods of the Suel pantheon for the Greyhawk setting.

Also fun, but not D&D related is Jack Crane’s Legacy of Hortus, which has loads of drawings of animal/plant hybrids. The issue is rounded out by the usual comic strips.
