Great post Lynn! “Much is written these days about the need for reforestation as a method to slow climate change. The resurrection of the forests of Appalachian Ohio show how easy this can be in areas with adequate rainfall. It's not rocket science. Almost 100 years ago, ragtag bands of minimally trained young people living in makeshift barracks helped bring about a miraculous recovery of the land.”
Totally. Biden Administration recently launched the "American Climate Corps" (ACC) which is very much like the old CCC. Hopefully Republicans won't be able to stop it.
Thank you for the history lesson on such a beautiful region.

This is a fabulous history of how we as a country can mobilize and benefit all of us. Where’s our will?
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this little slice of history. And a little slice of hope.
