SUMMARY:Stream Restoration Discussion with Botanist\, Julian Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Julian Campbell will present a critical review of vegetation issues in “so-called” stream restoration on Daniel Boone National Forest. \nWhen: Monday\, January 15\, 2024 @ 7:00pm \nWhere: Hunter Presbyterian Church\, 109 Rosemont Garden\, Lexington KY. \nExcerpt from Julian: “I first became aware of the potential pitfalls in so-called “stream restoration” 10 years ago at Cane Run on the north side of Lexington. That project came with several unsupported claims about its benefits. But its primary motivation seems to have been political\, as a “Supplementary Environmental Project” (SEP) costing about one million dollars. The EPA approved this SEP as a face-saving substitute for the city having to pay a fine of the same amount (due to its long history of sewage-related infractions). I have since learned that various kinds of “stream restoration” across the nation often have had questionable motives and outcomes.”

SUMMARY:Public Webinar Discussion; Mature and Old-Growth Protections
DESCRIPTION:The Biden administration has announced that it is taking comments on a proposal aimed at protecting mature and old-growth forests across America’s national forest system. The proposal includes some great language that could represent critical protections and planning for old-growth forests. \nBut it also leaves the door wide open for the Forest Service to continue cutting and clearing mature and old-growth forests when they decide that preserving these forests “is not relevant or beneficial.” \nTo help the public better understand and engage in the ongoing public comment process\, Kentucky Heartwood will host an online discussion led by our Ecologist\, Jim Scheff. The discussion will cover the positive aspects of the proposal along with its flaws and vulnerabilities\, with an emphasis on how it could affect the conservation of mature and old-growth forests across Kentucky’s Daniel Boone National Forest. \n  \nHow: Register via the link here! This event will be virtual via zoom. Please register if you plan to attend so we can gauge interest. Thank you!
