The Dolly Parton Hair Corn Maze

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: Victoria, Australia added three national parks—Mount Buungar, the Pyrenees, and Wombat-Lerddergh—protecting over 250 square miles of forest and mountain habitat, including old-growth trees needed by endangered greater gliders, after advocacy dating to 2010. A small marble study by Trevi Fountain sculptor Pietro Bracci, made around 1736 for Pope Clement XII and long missing, resurfaced after decades in an English garden and was identified at auction. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has distributed 300+ million books since 1995, and 20 farms in the US and Canada created Dolly-themed corn mazes to raise money, featuring a pre-recorded message from Parton. In England, a Waterfowl Sanctuary worker freed a young swan from a fishing hook in minutes, a clip viewed 12.7 million times. Researchers formally described a Sri Lankan spiny mouse, Mus dambara, after learning burnt coconut bait works where peanut butter failed; only two specimens are known.
