Forest Service logging at Bell Smith Springs in the Shawnee National Forest.
Forest Service is logging at Bell Smith Springs. Temp injunction issued to cease. Fight ongoing. I am not the original writer below. I copied and pasted, and left it intact, no edits, from Reddit. I’m just a citizen who is mad as hell to learn about this on my fb feed this evening. Bell Smith Springs means the world to me, even though I now live a quarter of a world away. Spread the word, support if you can. ““Bittersweet” that is how it felt taking this hike today with Sam Stearns at the beautiful Bell Smith Springs. Sweet in the majestic views, the ever present wildlife, the gorgeous trees that shaded our every step and the lovely folks we had the pleasure of meeting. But bitter in the knowlege that all of this is hanging in te balance due to the Forest Service selling off plots in the area to be clear cut logged. A lawsuit has already been filed and a order of restraint issued to stop this unnecessary misuse of public land but its not going to be as easy as that. All of us that have a love for this place need to come together and make ourselves heard so as to save Bell Smith. Anyone with questions, concerns, or donations please take the time to visit www.fobss.org [http://www.fobss.org/]. anything helps and everything is appreciated” -Andy Flector on Facebook, Saturday, August 30, 2025 at 3:21 PM -— There are some good videos (FB - sorry) (video1 [https://www.facebook.com/pfbid0Ld3jbR4VS4pWd5ZJUpAQQF53mp3p24tvbptw68W7HXBzueKmeRDxmMV8NNbcfZTml/videos/pcb.24538402725789197/1519558899174275] , video2 [https://www.facebook.com/pfbid0Ld3jbR4VS4pWd5ZJUpAQQF53mp3p24tvbptw68W7HXBzueKmeRDxmMV8NNbcfZTml/videos/pcb.24538402725789197/1476579786921430]) on fb, posted by Andy that feature local legend Sam Stearns speaking. He tells some good stories, some bad stories, and lays out some history and why what is happening is wrong. We need public support in opposition to destroying our precious parks.
Bad storms in Williamson County
This was totality — photographed from my parents’ yard in Southern Illinois during the April 8, 2024 eclipse.
The sun’s corona was blazing, and we could even see flares along the edge.
A moment of awe, silence, and cosmic perspective.
