Seems doomed

Harlan County, Kentucky

"The great wilds of our country once held to be boundless and inexhaustible are being rapidly invaded and overrun in every direction, and everything destructible in them is being destroyed. How far destruction may go is not easy to guess. Every landscape low and high seems doomed to be trampled and harried."

John Muir


Are we going to save Kentucky?

Tennessee?

The oceans?


Protect



Big South Fork River - Southeastern Kentucky
Everything trampled.  So much trampling.  It seems like the few are doing the trampling at the expense of the many.  For evil to win it is only necessary for good people to stand by.  "Even the sky is not safe from scathe - blurred and blackened..."

Lookout Mountain and the Little River

Forests in the Little River area, Alabama

The Little River Canyon National Preserve gives people the chance to see this scenic natural area.   The Little River flows atop Lookout Mountain.  It has been a rough six months for those who love natural areas.  One thinks of the writing of Muir.  "The great wilds of our country once held to be boundless and inexhaustible are being rapidly invaded and overrun in every direction, and everything destructible in them is being destroyed. How far destruction may go is not easy to guess. Every

landscape low and high seems doomed to be trampled and harried."
