New Highway Threatens Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest 
In 1986, the U. S. Forest Service created the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest 
in North Carolina. The 3,800-acre preserve was dedicated with these words: 
“No live trees may be cut or removed.” Today the Federal Highway 
Administration of the Department of Transportation wants to build a 
highway through the forest. The Forest Service has quietly acquiesced. 
This is the regular record of the Forest Service; it likes to okay roads as 
much as it bulldozes trees. 
Conservation groups such as the Wilderness Society, the Sierra Club 
of South Carolina, and the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club have urged 
that letters be sent to Senators Charles Percy and Adlai Stevenson, plus 
the Secretary of Agriculture, Clifford M. Hardin, and to John A. Volpe, 
Secretary, Department of Transportation, Washington. The conservation 
clubs are asking that the old road south of Big Santeetlah Creek be utilized 
instead and that the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest be placed under 
wilderness designation. 
Joyce Kilmer, of course, is the soldier-poet famous for his authorship 
of “Trees.” The proposed Tellico Plains highway would bisect the Slick- 
rock Creek Forest and the Kilmer Forest.
