Where did Mary Richmond’s nature column go?!

Hi all–Some of you have noticed my column is missing from The Cape Codder and The Register. After my column was cut to two times a month due to budget cuts, I found a new weekly home with the Cape Cod Chronicle. The Codder was a wonderful home for 17 years but the future there looked uncertain at best. The editorial staff was always fantastic and it is not their fault that the changes occurred. I know some people have been writing letters. Although that is a lovely thought in that it is in defense of my column, it is not helpful to the editors. They fought the cuts as best they could. In the end, it wasn’t up to them but the owners of the papers.

My first column, now called Nature Connection, was published about 6 weeks ago. Here’s a photo of that first column in print. One of my former editors, who now writes for the Chronicle, dropped it off for me, hot off the press!

The Cape Cod Chronicle is a privately owned paper and writing for them feels like coming home. I hope you will pick up the paper or read my column online.
