DESCRIPTION:Hike Leaders: Ben Leffew\, Preserve Manager at Shaker Village; Michael Patton\, Avian Biologist at Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources \nKentucky birders Ben Leffew (Shaker Village) and Michael Patton (KY Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources) will lead this hike featuring the diversity of birds that use the forests of the Kentucky River Palisades. Ben and Michael will teach participants to identify birds by sight\, sound\, behavior\, and habitat. This program takes place during peak migration and will prepare participants who may be interested in Global Big Day and other community science birding programs. \nFor this program\, we are partnering with Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill to highlight birds of the Kentucky River Palisades region. Join us directly after this hike for an afternoon program at Shaker Village that will feature Grassland Birds of the Kentucky River Palisades.

SUMMARY:Sedges of the Palisades Hike w/ Kentucky Nature Preserves Botanists
DESCRIPTION:Hike Leaders: Office of Kentucky Nature Preserves Botanists \nMany of the grass-like plants one may encounter in Kentucky’s natural areas are not actually grasses. Although similar\, they are members of an entirely different family of plants. This hike will focus on the largest genus within the sedge family (Cyperaceae)\, the genus Carex. With close to 150 species in this genus found in Kentucky\, the diversity of sedges (Carex) is astounding and they can tell us a lot about the natural communities upon which they are found. Join OKNP botanists Devin Rodgers and Vanessa Voelker on a hike to learn some of the most common sedges found in the Bluegrass. \nHike distance and difficulty: 2 – 3 miles; rated moderate to difficult\, due to steep and uneven terrain; there may also be some slick spots near the creek \nBring: water \nOptional: hiking poles\, snack\, camera \nPlease note: The Nature Center is open for restroom access only. Masks are currently required indoors. \nCOVID-19 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND GUIDELINES: Floracliff does not require fully-vaccinated individuals to wear masks during outdoor programs as long as adequate physical distance (6-feet) can be maintained between others outside of one’s household/pod.
