Olmsted Parks Conservancy is in the middle of a trail study to learn how we can better control soil erosion and improve our natural trails in Cherokee, Iroquois and Seneca – making the escape into nature better for both the park and the visitor. We want to know, how do you use the natural trails?

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service is once again taking applications for seasonal high tunnels (hoop houses) that work towards extending the growing season for gardeners and vegetable producers. These metal-framed plastic-covered growing areas allow producers to plant early - like February - and extend their growing seasons well into winter. Applications taken now are for the 2020 growing season.
If you had a high tunnel crop in place in February, you are probably already eating freshly grown fruits and vegetables and worked through the cool rainy season in the comfort of the “indoors”. To find out how you can qualify for this program, coupled with the Jefferson County Conservation District, contact Kurt Mason, Urban Conservationist for Kentucky at (859) 490-0113 or kurt.mason@ky.usda.gov Qualified applicants can be individuals, groups, non-profits, churches and community organizations. To find out more about this opportunity and how it is within your reach, contact the phone number above. Through the partnership of USDA, Jefferson County Conservation District and additional funding, Jefferson County residents will have very little of their own dollars committed to healthy growing! Don’t wait because the process takes some time to apply and the deadline is coming up in November. Start your application now!
