WORD FROM THE SMOKIES

During the COVID lockdown of 2020, I launched “Word from the Smokies,” a column that now appears in five regional news outlets and educates readers in park gateway communities about the science, culture, and ecological initiatives of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The most current columns are written by my staff, but these links lead to articles with my byline.
