We celebrate nature in the Smokies by selecting cogent stories from the Smokies Life weekly column, "Word from the Smokies," in a compilation of news articles and blogs centered around Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In two dozen feature stories previously published between 2020 and 2025 by regional print media and online, readers can learn about salamanders, owls, otters, mushrooms, sochan, elk, hawks, and a slew of conservation topics that bring the Smokies and its biodiversity into greater focus.
