Surface Mine Reclamation

The second most common form of surface mine reclamation is the restoration of the land for hay, pasture or agricultural use. The D & D Ranch operates on reclaimed land at the Pine Branch Coal mine near Chavies, Ky. Researcher Tammy Horn is raising bees on reclaimed land in Leslie County to determine the viability of large scale commercial bee operations operating on reclaimed mine land throughout Eastern Ky.

Reforestation of the Mines

One of the biggest concerns of surface mining is how to restore the land once the mining is complete. The older practice of reclaiming the land using grasses has give way to reforestation efforts and other more environmentally favorable methods. This is the first in a series of stories on the many issues involved with surface mine reclamation. Photographs by Charles Bertram

Red House in Red House

The people of Red House have made their town impossible to forget. Coming from the outskirts, the Red House Baptist Church is only a harbinger of things to come. Next up Red House Road, Red House United Methodist Church, then Red House Red House Records and Recording Studio, the Red House Country Store, then Red House Automotive. Drive slow and on the eastern side of the road, opposite the railroad tracks, you’ll see the actual red house the town was named for. Can’t miss it, it’s the biggest and reddest thing in town.
