The book includes articles from Fergus' column as well articles Fergus wrote for publications like Audubon and Country Journal. Fergus is a lifelong resident of Centre County, where he enjoys the outdoors on his 30 acres of land. He has seen many changes in attitudes since he began writing in 1973. Many of the changes though, are not positive.
More people spend less time out in forests.
Fergus also has concerns over urban sprawl gobbling up animal habitat. Fergus will speak at the Towpath Naturalist Society meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 26, at the Mifflin County Courthouse. The public is invited to attend. For the full story, read The Sentinel.
