Madison County Chapter Exchange with Floyd County

15 Madison County KFTC chapter members traveled to Floyd County over the weekend to visit with members of the Floyd County KFTC chapter.  Madison County Mountain Witness Tour and Chapter Exchange 3.19.11They met at KFTC member Rick Handshoe's home in Hueysville.  Rick took them on a tour of his home, showing first-hand the destruction that has been caused by the mountaintop removal mining happening in his holler.  He then led them on a hike of his land where he pointed the changes to the land and community he has seen since the mining began. Madison County chapter members asked lots of questions, trying to gain a better understanding of the extent of the impact.  The tour and chapter exchange was a great way to build connections among KFTC's statewide membership -- crossing county borders.  They were reminded that we are all connected to the land and in this together!
