Researchers at the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences found that marigold flowers contain about the same amount of protein as conventional plant protein sources like quinoa.

State game lands have a huge positive impact on the state’s economy and don’t inhibit private development or shortchange local municipal coffers. That’s the conclusion of a study commissioned by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
The report from the study, conducted by Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Industrial Economics, Incorporated, was unveiled at the commission’s July 10 quarterly meeting.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission’s reserve fund exceeding $500 million – fed by proceeds from Marcellus shale natural gas receipts from the game lands – continues to draw attention in Harrisburg as lawmakers struggle to fund the state budget.
More than a few lawmakers want to initiate actions that affect hunting, trapping and fishing. Mostly they mean well; sometimes they don’t. And it’s not just in Pennsylvania.
Invasive woody plants present a major ecological challenge in eastern U.S. forests by outcompeting native species and spreading quickly, forming dense thickets that crowd out native plants and disrupt ecosystems.
Land managers have tried, with some success, to use prescribed fire to kill them, but is it effective?
We’ve had a lot of strange messages from readers over the years, but this one left in late May takes the cake:
“I’m calling about a dead deer right along Rt. 119 just as you’re leaving Jefferson County, going into Clearfield County,” the caller said.
Early estimates put economic losses for Pennsylvania’s crop industry this spring between $150 million and $200 million.
Too many white-tailed deer are damaging forests in the U.S. by eating young plants before they can grow, limiting forest regeneration and damaging biodiversity.
To mitigate this challenge, the Pennsylvania Game Commission implemented an initiative called the Deer Management Assistance Program that helps landowners manage deer populations by allowing hunters to harvest more female deer where they are overabundant.
Pennsylvania sits astride two major drainages: Streams in the west drain into the Ohio River, and that water ends up in the Gulf of America; the rest of the state drains into the Atlantic Ocean. Their native fish species are different.
This fact complicates the Fish & Boat Commission’s effort to restore blue catfish to the Ohio River basin and protect flathead catfish there.
