Cumberland Forest Project Does Global Conservation in Rural Appalachia

A large tract of land in southeastern Kentucky has long been important to local residents. “People know the land is not theirs but have a unique attachment to it,” said John Grace, Bell County resident and tourism director. “It’s been a place people here have enjoyed for generations. They shot their first deer up there, caught their first fish out of one of the ponds or the streams. I used to grouse hunt there back in the day with my grandfather.”

No fair-weather tradition: Moody reflects on helping, hands, hooves and heritage

AVERY COUNTY — For the first time in several Septembers, the 2026 Avery County Agricultural and Horticultural Fair unfolded without a downpour — only a lightning storm that cleared the grounds for about an hour. "I think the overall experience was pleasant for everybody. We weren't tromping through mud," said County Extension Director and Extension Agent Jerry Moody. "It was a little on the hot side. But I'd rather it be hot than us in snow or rain or whatever." The first fair, in 1993, was on a snowy October, Moody said, and attendance has ebbed and flowed since. "Overall, it was maybe our third lowest year in the past three, but as far as people enjoying themselves, we've got more compliments on everything this year," he said.
