Spring Creek in the proposed South Redbird Wildlife Enhancement project area.

​Kentucky Heartwood invites you to join the 2021 Virtual Membership Meeting on Saturday, February 20th via ZOOM! You don't need to be a member to attend the meeting, but you are welcome to join if you feel inclined. Participation is limited to 100 individuals.

We will feature a presentation by Kentucky Heartwood's staff ecologist Jim Scheff discussing the South Redbird Wildlife Enhancement Project ("South Redbird") proposed in the Redbird District of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Jim and Kentucky Heartwood's coordinator Tina Marie Johnson have spent an extensive amount of time analyzing agency proposals, conducting site-specific timber sale assessments, and checking on reported landslides impacting streams with threatened species present such as the Kentucky arrow darter and snuffbox mussel in and the South Redbird area. Jim will share the story of how the Forest Service and private timber companies failed to protect crucial habitat and the challenges and the opportunities citizen's face to protect public lands in eastern Kentucky. 

Jim has worked at Kentucky Heartwood since 2008. Prior to moving to Kentucky, he was active in national forest protection efforts in his home state of Missouri and has been involved with several regional and national forest protection organizations. ​Jim has a bachelor’s degree and two master’s in biological areas. His graduate research at Eastern Kentucky was an investigation into the development of old-growth forest characteristics in second-growth forests. As the former director of Kentucky Heartwood, Jim now serves as Kentucky Heartwood's staff ecologist coordinating field work and site-specific project analyses.

Join us for a virtual Meet and Greet from 6:00 to 6:30 pm to say hello to your fellow Kentucky Heartwood friends.

The presentation will be from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
