Help make the Earth beautiful for her 50th Earth Day Celebration and join us for a volunteer clean up of trash and other debris at the Garvin Brown Preserve. We will be having two sessions on Tuesday, April 21st, 10 am-Noon and 2 pm-4 pm. The Garvin Brown Preserve is located right on the Ohio River and has been open to the public every day for over 20 years. We want people to continue to be able to enjoy this area as the weather gets nicer! We are very grateful for the many volunteers that regularly help us keep the Preserve clean and in good shape and we would love to have you join us along with your friends and neighbors during the Mayor’s “Give a Day” Week of Service.
You can sign up here or by emailing vanessacastle@riverfields.org. Pertinent information, including directions, will be emailed to those who sign up.
River Fields invites you to the Wildflower Walk at Wolf Pen Branch Mill Farm
Sunday, April 26th, 1:30 p.m.
To thank you for your support and to celebrate spring, River Fields invites you to join us for a guided exploration of the wildflowers at Wolf Pen Branch Mill Farm, Sunday, April 26th at 1:30 p.m. Nestled on 412 acres of undeveloped land along Wolf Pen Branch Road, the farm features an endangered plant species and a historic water-powered mill and mill complex. The farm and the mill are forever preserved through a conservation easement co-held by River Fields and the Kentucky Heritage Council.
Sallie Bingham, noted writer and founder of the Kentucky Foundation for Women, owns the property and donated the conservation easement in 1999 so the property would remain undeveloped and protected for future generations. The walk fills up very quickly so interested participants are urged to make reservations as soon as possible. The roughly 2-hour walk is through varying terrains, so sensible walking shoes and appropriate dress for the weather is strongly suggested.
Free for members. Non-members may participate with a $25 donation to River Fields, which includes a one-year membership. For more information or to reserve a spot on the walk, please contact Vanessa Castle at (502) 583-3060 or at vanessacastle@riverfields.org.
