Robinson Forest Campaign Continues with Rally Today
UK Greenthumb, Kentucky Heartwood, KFTC members, and other students gathered today to keep pressure on the UK Board of Trustees over a proposed logging of 1,000 acres or more of Robinson Forest, a Forest in Knott, Perry, and Breathitt Counties owned by the University. The rally brought out several dozen supporters as Board of Trustees members filtered past students in the Patterson Office Tower Plaza and into their monthly board meeting at 1pm today.
For more information on the changing campaign, see the UK Kentucky Kernel story link below.
