Chapter: Wilderness Trace

KFTC's newest (September 2012) chapter is located in central Kentucky's Wilderness Trace counties of Boyle, Mercer, Garrard and Lincoln (Wilderness Trace is a historic name for this part of Kentucky).

We're concerned with sustainable energy issues – promoting local solar projects and addressing problems from the neighboring coal-burning power plant and slurry pond; affordable housing – making sure the people in these areas have good places to live; and economic justice in general – helping people have a voice and way to speak out.

We welcome all who want to be part of our growing group.
