Appalachia Meets World Episode 98 - ”Boone’s Ridge” in Appalachia with David Ledford

In this episode it hits close to "home" with Will and Neil.  They sit down with David Ledford the President and CEO of the Appalachian Wildlife Foundation to talk about the current project that is - Boone's Ridge!  Located in the heart of central Appalachia, partially on abandoned mine land, this project is more than just a natural habitat.  Take a listen as Mr. Ledford explains the phased approach of the project and what it will consist of and what impact it will make on the region.  If for nothing else, listen as he describes the anticipated gondola that will be part of the overall area - is something you don't often get to be a part of in this area.  As suggested, it's time to quit planning and talking about "what if" and just doing it!  Also, don't forget the #AppBiz of the week: Sauced!
