The Revelator – The community at the base of the Jellico Mountains initiated an incredible public campaign to “stop the chop” in response to the Forest Service’s scoping analysis.
Every decision we make today will leave generations of people growing into adulthood with questions about why we chose profit and extraction over protection.
While we may think that environmentalists gravitate toward a certain political orientation, in reality, love for nature spans all political divides. The community-led effort to stop the Jellico logging project reflects a diverse coalition of people with common goals.
