2026 Riparian Plants of the Kentucky River Hike
Thursday, July 2, 2026 | 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Join the Preserve team to learn about some of the plant species that grow in the riparian zone of the Kentucky River at Shaker Landing! Riparian (meaning "near flowing water") plants are tolerant of occasional flooding and are generally only found in areas that are consistently moist. Participants on this hike will learn about the ecology of riverine systems and how to identify plants like box elder (Acer negundo), spicebush (Lindera benzoin), river oats (Chasmanthium latifolium), and many more.
