WHITLEY CITY, Ky. — A small but important tract of land has been added to the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area with help from a conservation organization.
The National Park Service wanted to purchase the land when the owner decided to sell it, but didn’t have the money, so the The Nature Conservancy bought it and held onto the land until the park service got money, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported, citing a statement from the conservation organization.
