Nothing new there. PA Game news has had a "nature" column with a predominately non hunting or nongame theme for many years.

Remember The Thornapples column byChuck Fergus? I didnt read Fergus stuff as avidly as Ned Smith but as I recall, hunting was seldom mentioned in his columns.

Remember Gone for the day by Ned Smith? Ned Smith did interject his hunts at times but his columns were also very oriented toward all wildlife and plant life including non game critters as well as plants and trees. NedSmith didn't need to mention hunting or game to makehis cloumn interesting.
