LIVEEcoSense for Living - Forest for the Trees
"Wild Kentucky Elk" - Once eradicated from the landscape, elk have now returned to Kentucky with gusto! Since these massive mammals were restored to their perfect habitat, they've thrived and multiplied. Their presence delights hunters and wildlife observers and boosts local economies that are tied to elk prosperity. "Physician For the Forest" - The southern Appalachian forests may look wild to visitors, but these places have been wildly altered by human impacts. To bring back balance and health, land managers are "physicians of the forest, " prescribing controlled fires and administering treatments that remove some trees so that other, more beneficial trees, can come back. "Healing Power of Trees" - "The Greenheart Project" in Louisville, Kentucky has pioneered a study to learn how planting thousands of trees in a community affects peoples' health. Working together, doctors, the University of Louisville, and The Nature Conservancy have seen miraculous results and created a model for other cities around the world.
