Miller Riddell is one of 73 interns learning new skills while getting paid this summer at the Cabinet. He, along with Abbey Bleuel, Jesse Trost, Bella Bailey-Sims, and Jack Koontz, shared what it’s been like to work alongside environmental professionals.
After an inspection found several hundred feet of sunken track in 2019, the Big South Fork Scenic Railway temporarily shut down. This not only disappointed riders but impacted the region’s tourism dollars. Now, with funding and design work from Kentucky’s Division of Abandoned Mine Lands, it’s full steam ahead.
the Division of Oil and Gas (DOG) had identified and overseen the plugging of 18 wells on a wildlife area that had been closed to the public.
Due to this, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources will soon make available for public recreation more than 500 acres in the Rockcastle River Wildlife Management Area (WMA).
