My late father-in-law used to call a rattlesnake "The Old Man" and would encounter them when he was a young lineman for Flint Electric. I think some of these rattlers were women based on how many baby snakes these hunters killed!

Tree Stand Safety Awareness Month - 2019
09/03/2019

September is Tree Stand Safety Awareness Month! All of your loved ones want you to make it back to them safely so before you head back out into the woods this season, remember your ABCs of tree stand safety! The Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation's ABCs of tree stand safety were created to help hunters stay safe in their tree stands:

Always remove and inspect your equipment
Buckle on your full-body harness
Connect to the tree before your feet leave the ground
By performing these 3 simple steps, tree stand users can virtually eliminate their risk of falling to the ground as the majority of falls occur outside the stand. TSSA encourages all hunters to take tree stand safety seriously, every time you hunt from, hang, or remove a tree stand.

RIP Tom Patrick

The conservation community is mourning the loss of DNR botanist Tom Patrick.

Patrick, of Monticello, died Aug. 22. He was the agency’s first botanist, joining in 1986 what was then the Georgia Natural Heritage Inventory Program, an initiative of DNR and The Nature Conservancy ("Heritage turns 25," November 2011).

Patrick was noted for his knowledge of native flora – he authored “Protected Plants of Georgia,” a botanical standard – and his ready but respectful willingness to share that knowledge with others. In this 2011 video, he explained the importance of blackland prairies at Oaky Woods Wildlife Management Area near Perry.

This spring, before the Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance presented its first lifetime achievement award to Patrick – an award named after him – the medal was passed around the room in a “warming ceremony” that allowed each member to hold and honor the award Patrick would soon receive (“GPCA honors plant champ,” June 20). The medal was engraved with a persistent trillium, a species endemic to Georgia and befitting Patrick’s expertise in and fondness for the genus trillium.

It's also fitting that "persistent" epitomized his approach and commitment to conserving native plants.

Patrick is survived by his wife Bretta, two sons and other family.
