June 20 Farm & Forage Day Cancelled due to Weather

 It’s with no small amount of regret that we must announce the cancellation of Saturday’s Family Farm and Forage Day at Riverside, the Farnsley-Moremen Landing.  The forecasters are in agreement that what we’ll have on Saturday is an all-day rain. As we’ve invited presenters from across the state of Kentucky to participate in this, our inaugural event, it’s a lot to expect them to come and spend their time in those conditions.

The good news is we’ve already set a date for next year. Family Farm and Forage Day will return on Saturday, June 18, 2016. With an extra year to plan, our goal is to make it bigger and better!

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please visit www.riverside-landing.org for the latest programming at the site. Our next event is the popular Ice Cream Social on July 12 – see you there!

Summer Adventure Camps at Jefferson Memorial Forest

Looking for something fun and educational for your kids this summer? Try one of the summer camps at the Forest! Each camp provides children an immersion experience in the natural world. They take on the roles of naturalist, scientist, and explorer as they discover new things about the forest, and the creatures that inhabit it. By combining educational activities and learning experiences with traditional summer camp fun, your child has an educational adventure they will remember for a lifetime. Camp activities include nature study, crafts, science experiments, games, journaling, hikes and animal contact with the Forest’s education animals.

Each session runs for one week, with days beginning promptly at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 4:00 p.m. Each of these camps are for ages 7 to 12. Special camps for teens ages 13 to 15, and youngsters ages 5 to 6 are also offered.

The application as well as descriptions of each Adventure can be found online by Clicking Here or call (502)368-5404 with any questions.
