Kentucky woman's 35-year nature preserve threatened by $40M sewer project easements
A Kentucky woman spent 35 years cultivating her 45-acre property into a natural preserve, intending to donate it to the Boone Conservancy. A sewer district secured seven easements across her land through eminent domain as part of a nearly $40 million infrastructure project.

Boone County officials have since asked the sewer district to justify why it selected a path through the preserve.
