(11/9/2009) The golden-winged warbler, a diminutive bird splashed with bright-yellow highlights, had it good in the Southern Appalachians 100 years ago. Regular fires helped create the early succession blend of thick, brushy areas beside native grasses and wildflowers the birds needed for foraging and nesting.

(11/9/2009) How do you restore a mountain bog? Sweat, science, partners and perseverance. How do you keep it restored? See above. Mountain bogs are one of the Southern Appalachians' most critically endangered habitats, home to species found nowhere else, such as federally threatened bog turtles, state-protected montane purple pitcherplants and federally threatened swamp pinks, some of Georgia's rarest plants.

(11/5/2009) Hunters are generous people. This fact is best showcased in the continued support of the Georgia Hunters for the Hungry program, through which sportsmen and women can donate deer at specific drop-off locations and the meat is processed and donated to Food Banks in the state. Since 1993, hunters in Georgia have donated more than 1.25 million meals of venison.

(10/29/2009) North Georgia offers few better ways to observe fall foliage beauty than a trip to a trout-filled delayed harvest mountain stream. With more than 4,000 miles of trout streams and three species of trout, there are fishing and simultaneous leaf-viewing opportunities closer than you think.
