    KENTUCKY TREES #1: We all live in the forest

    By Billy Joe Fudge

    Yes, as strange as it may seem, we all live in the forest. Whether we live in the shade of the trees or in the middle of a grain farm, we still live in the forest.

    Every forest has openings whether created by nature or by man. Some of these openings are large and some are small. No matter the size of the opening it will always be a part of a forest system.

    We as a people probably know more about Sherwood Forest than we know about the forest in which we live.
