Thank you, folks...it's a cause so dear to my heart, and should be to everyone's- terrible things are happening. Last week a land agent called me and asked it I'd give permission for his company to use my holler (hollow) which runs a mile behind our house, up to the head of the holler- to dispose of the "fill" from a new road they're building!
The little stream is already in trouble from both underground and surface mining. This would finish it. No more trees- no more birds and small animals. And one of the world's important water-sheds is facing extinction from these practices.

I don't have time left to do much, but I'm doing what an old lady can. I just hope that people can learn to understand what untold harm they are doing to the world, before it's too late. Lorcan, come say hello if you get there!   Jean
