Home on the Range … In Appalachia? Many people believe wild bison have only ever lived and roamed in Yellowstone National Park or the vast open spaces depicted in Western films. Yet, Indigenous and archaeological records indicate that bison were found in nearly every state of what is now the United States — sorry, Hawaii — including in Appalachia. In Letcher County, Kentucky, the Appalachian Rekindling Project, an Indigenous, women-led organization, is seeking to reintroduce bison to the region on 63 acres of a reclaimed mount...

What if a reclaimed mountaintop removal coal mine became a bison habitat? Bison once roamed Appalachia. This summer, Appalachian Rekindling Project is working to bring them back to #EKY. 🦬

Oh, and the property falls within the designated boundaries of the proposed site for a fed prison. 👀

This is the tornado warning. #EKY it's all heading in your direction, so be prepared for this.
(And remember WKY is in CT, EKY is in ET)
