The situation
What’s happening to Daniel Boone
The Jellico Mountains of southeastern Kentucky were next on the chopping block. The Forest Service proposed a 40-year logging plan covering 10,000 acres, then withdrew its draft decision in April 2026 after formal objections. In a landscape already ravaged by decades of coal mining, the proposal reads less like management and more like compounding injury.
