"On the positive side…lands are being purchased by private groups such as the Kentucky Natural Lands Trust, and there are signs of hope on the horizon… In the end, it depends on all of us to support conservation activities to ensure a healthy environment for generations of future Kentuckians."

“I was born in Appalachia near Pine Mountain in Jenkins, KY (Letcher County). If I had the power to restore those mountains to the paradise that I remember as a child, it would be done…the balance of Nature, the hills primeval, the wildlife free and safe coexisting as Mother Nature intended, the creeks running clear and clean, the air that breaths like no other…all a part of my essence that never fades. I do, however, have the power via the KNLT both through current donations and my estate to make a small difference in keeping what we still have and restoring what humanity has ruined. If we all made that small difference, we just may be able to have a place where we could, once again, become one with Nature.”

“My father (David Burns) once told me that nothing lasts – not even the mountains – unless you buy them and put covenants on them to protect them into perpetuity. He wanted the backbone of Kentucky to last. He wanted something that would span generations. He wanted his gift to be the Mountain.”
