I saw a quick peice on the news here in Lex-Vegas about the damage in the gorge. They said it could effect the gorge for up to 65 years....thats how long it would take the trees to grow back to their original shape and health. They showed a few parts of the woodlands.....it looked pretty darn bad. They said some parts were worse than others, but they had crews out all over the place.
If anyone is interested in volunteering, there is a group who uses Yahoo Groups to organize meetings etc. RRGTC is the group namd (Red River Gorge Trail Crew).
