Due to the waterfall, steep terrain, and fragile habitat, Floracliff is not open to daily visitation. The Sanctuary is open by appointment only and offers a variety of walks, volunteer opportunities and hands-on workshops to interested individuals and groups. For more information on any of the following please contact the preserve manager at 859-351-7770 or floracliff@aol.com.

Special programs are available for garden clubs, small school groups, photography clubs, or other groups interested in visiting Floracliff. Group size is limited to 15.

The Floracliff Field Studies is a new series of workshops for 2012 designed to highlight biodiversity through hands-on experience and in-depth lectures. For the first four workshops, we will be focusing on the botanical, aquatic, or fungal diversity of mostly Floracliff and Kentucky, but in some cases also examining the national and global diversity of some groups of species. Workshop participants will gain experience in species identification, biological surveys, stream sampling techniques, creating urban habitats, observing relationships between species, and more. While the workshops are open to anyone, we think they will be of particular interest to naturalists, biology students, science educators, and land managers, as well as those with a strong passion for the subject. Learn more about the workshops here.

The staff of Floracliff is available to visit area schools to lead environmental education activities. We also have invasive species lesson plans with connections to Kentucky Core Content available to interested teachers.

A variety of research projects have been conducted on the preserve. More recent research includes a botanical survey, a salamander study and exotic plant research. Those interested in research projects are welcome to submit proposals. Permits must be obtained through the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission.
