A Tour of Floracliff’s Old Oaks

May 20, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Free

Hike Leader: Beverly James, Preserve Director

Hiking Level: Moderate to Difficult, due to steep, uneven terrain and potential creek crossings

Floracliff’s forested ravines are home to some of the oldest known trees in Kentucky. This hike will feature many of these 17th- and 18th-century chinquapin oaks. We will discuss the characteristics of old trees, the uniqueness of Floracliff’s old trees, and their significance to the region. We will also stop to appreciate spring wildflowers blooming on the forest floor.

We are thrilled to offer this special hike for free thanks to the generosity of sponsors David and Kathy Rees Johnson!
