Olmsted Parks Conservancy, in partnership with Louisville Parks and Recreation, conducted a trail study in 2019-2020 with help from Alta Planning and Design to learn how to better control soil erosion and improve the existing natural trail system in Cherokee, Iroquois, and Seneca Parks. The team worked to develop recommendations to improve the natural surface trails by combining data from their field observations with the feedback received via interactive park maps, a Trail Usage Survey, and the input received during two public meetings.
The Natural Surface Trail Plan provides recommendations for enhancing the existing trail systems including identifying renovation projects, establishing new trails, closure of eroded unsustainable trails, and recommendations for ongoing management. Implementation of the final natural trail surface plan is dependent upon raising the necessary funds for the project. The old trails had many challenges that needed to be addressed, such as overwhelming use, rogue trails, conflict between trail users, mobility, and environmental degradation. The rogue trails had to be removed. The trail builders were instructed to build for 5% maximum slope to ensure accessibility and erosion control. Along with protecting soil and tree roots, creating shared sustainable trails for both hikers and bikers is our top priority.
Since receiving the plan recommendations, we worked with Louisville Parks and Recreation to hire a contractor through the city’s procurement process, which involves a national search and an award to the most competitive bid. Together, we selected High Country Conservation to develop exact cost estimates for each section of trail construction and repair. To be clear, the contract required a firm to do work in 3 parks - which includes a variety of trail uses, so it was not appropriate to select a specialized trail builder.
Trail Study & Conceptual Plan: $79,000 investment
IROQUOIS PARK: $140,520 investment to date
The trail work done in the first phase in Iroquois Park helps to move us towards the recommended goal of connecting key access points and destinations by linking the amphitheater parking lot, hiking behind the Jack O’Lantern Spectacular area, and the Corbly Trail up to the North Overlook. Phase 1 will be completed once stone steps are installed with the Corbly Trail connection to the North Overlook.
SENECA PARK: $93,000 investment to date
The first phase of trail work in the Wilderness Loop area of Seneca Park has been mostly completed. We have met and spoken with KYMBA leadership several times regarding concerns of some sections of these trails. As the trails continue to be used and broken in, there will be additional modifications with the help of OPC staff and KYMBA volunteers.
CHEROKEE PARK: $120,000 investment to date
The first phase of trail work in Cherokee began recently with a focus on repair and protecting tree roots. The trail crew is currently working in an area near Chauffeur’s Rest and will then move to the area below Hogan’s Fountain for a couple of weeks. Sections of trails in these areas may be temporarily closed while work is being done in the area, but will be reopened to park users once the trail crews have moved out of the area. Following that work, project areas will be evaluated based upon the remaining budget of the currently available funding. OPC continues to consult with KYMBA leadership as work continues. Timeline of trail work is weather dependent. We ask that park users respect signage indicating work being done in project areas, as well as trail rules signage throughout the park.
KYMBA has been and continues to be a good partner. They do lots of volunteer work in our parks and keep our trails vibrant and active, exactly what we want to see. We will be scheduling additional meetings with KYMBA leadership at the beginning, middle, and around 90% completion of the first phase of work to be done in Cherokee Park.
OVERALL ESTIMATED COST FOR COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION OF TRAIL WORK IN ALL 3 PARKS: $800,000

Trash for Cash, a state program being rolled out in Louisville for the first time, helps ensure roadways around Louisville are kept clean while raising money for local youth-serving nonprofits. Qualified nonprofits can apply through Brightside.
Brightside will then work with the nonprofit to find a roadway that needs attention, and the nonprofit will earn $100 per mile they help clean. Available routes can be found here.
“Trash for Cash is a win-win for Louisville; the city gets cleaner streets, and local youth-serving nonprofits get more funds to help our kids,” Mayor Greenberg said. “I’m very proud this program has come to Louisville, and I want to thank the hard work of our Metro staff in making it a reality. I hope some of our outstanding nonprofits take advantage of this program to raise funds and help keep Louisville beautiful.”
Applications will be accepted from May 1 - May 15, 2023.

The U.S. Department of Justice will be coming to Louisville in May to get community feedback on how to address a pattern of unconstitutional policing. DOJ staff will lead community meetings in Louisville in May to hear from the public as it crafts reforms for the Louisville Metro Police Department. In March, the DOJ released findings of a years-long investigation, which discovered a “pattern or practice” of unconstitutional policing by LMPD. Federal investigators found Louisville police regularly violated people’s civil rights, especially the rights of Black people and people with disabilities. Members of the public can weigh in on what reform should look like at community meetings with DOJ staff. That feedback will inform a settlement agreement that federal officials will seek to negotiate with the city. The public meetings were initially scheduled for April, but were put on hold after the deadly mass shooting at Old National Bank.
The new dates and locations are below:
Mon, May 8th: 6-7:30pm at Main Library (301 York Street)
Tues, May 9th: 6-7:30pm at South Central Library (7300 Jefferson Blvd)
Weds, May 17th: 6-7:30pm at Northeast Regional Library (15 Bellevoir Cir)
Thurs, May 18th: 6-7:30pm at Southwest Regional Library (9725 Dixie Hwy)

Whitehall is pleased to announce that its 20th annual Peony Sale will be held at historic Whitehall, 3110 Lexington Road, on Thursday, May 11, 2023. Although the public is always welcome to tour Whitehall’s gardens throughout the day from sunup to sundown, the Peony Sale has been selected as the date when we estimate Whitehall’s impressive collection of over 60 peony varieties will be at their peak. There is no charge to visit the gardens.
A limited selection of herbaceous peonies will also be offered for sale. Peonies available for purchase include: Coral Sunset, Duchess de Nemours, and Raspberry Sundae. Peonies will be planted in 1-gallon pots at $35 each. The sale will begin at 6:00 p.m. Please note that early access to the sale area will not be permitted.
For more information, please contact Whitehall at (502) 897-2944 or whitehall@historichomes.org. Additional information is also available on Whitehall’s website at http://www.historicwhitehall.org/peony-sale. Proceeds from the Peony Sale benefit Whitehall, a historic house and estate garden owned and operated by the not-for-profit Historic Homes Foundation. Originally built in the mid-1850s as an Italianate farmhouse, the home was transformed in the early 1900s into the iconic Greek Revival-style mansion we know today as Whitehall. At just under ten acres, the grounds feature multiple unique gardens and specimen trees, making Whitehall truly the place where “history grows.”

Join us for the second annual MindFest Louisville on Sunday May 21st from 12-6pm at Roots 101 Museum! MindFest is a free community mind strengthening event infused with music, food, mental health resources, entertainment, workshops, yoga, vendors, panel discussions, and more.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and in Kentucky, 37.4% of adults reported symptoms of anxiety and/or a depressive disorder — compared to 32.3% of adults across the US.
To help Louisvillians learn more about mental health and find available resources, Emily Davis created MiNDFEST, a free annual community event. After starting a podcast about her own mental health struggles two years ago, Emily began connecting with resources around town and decided Derby City needed an event to bring them all together for the public.
Our District 9 Legislative Assistant, Jasmine, is also one of the organizers for MindFest.

Just in time for the Kentucky Derby festivities, a pop-up Food Truck Clinic is launching in downtown Louisville. The clinic is a one-stop-shop where food and beverage vendors can get the green light from the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW), Louisville and Jefferson County Fire, and Louisville’s Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) to legally sell food and drinks to the public. Every Thursday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., from now until Oct. 19, food trucks and other mobile vendors can stop by the alley at Armory Place, behind the Metro Development Center at 444 S. 5th St., to get their permits to operate.
Currently, more than 200 mobile food vendors operate in Jefferson County. Before they can legally set up shop, vendors are required to go through the proper building, permitting and licensing process. Failure to have the proper permits and licenses, required annually, can result in a misdemeanor, which can lead up to a $500 fine and/or 30 days in jail.
During the clinic, Louisville and Jefferson County Fire inspectors will verify that food trucks are compliant by confirming national fire safety requirements are met. Public Health and Wellness inspectors will ensure vendors meet food safety and sanitation requirements, and Louisville ABC will verify that vendors have all necessary permits and licenses. Even if a vendor does not sell alcohol, they are required to go through ABC to confirm they are compliant with Louisville laws.
Vendors who would like to stop by the Food Truck Clinic need to register here. To learn more about food trucks and mobile vending permits, visit Food Truck and Mobile Vending Permit at louisvilleky.gov.

We hope you can join our Building Forever Families Open House Celebration on May 16 from 6:15 pm – 8 pm at St. Joseph Children’s Home. Come see our new renovated space made possible by our Building Forever Families Capital Campaign donors, volunteers, and project partners.
Since 1849, St. Joe’s has provided a home to over 75,000 children. In 1885, we began serving children in need from our current campus in Crescent Hill. Our historic Landmark Building needed extensive renovations to meet the needs of our kids and families. In 2019, we launched our Building Forever Families Capital Campaign and have completed our transformational project. Join us for our open house and tour to see some of the great new spaces including:
* A fully renovated cafeteria, medical suite, gymnasium, and school. These spaces are designed to meet the unique needs of our kids and ensure they have the best possible environment to heal, learn, and thrive.
* A beautifully updated Therapeutic Foster Care & Adoption Program Center, therapy suites, and our brand-new Behavioral Health Services Outpatient Center.
These spaces will help build healing, hope, and forever families.
* Cheerful new Child Development Center classrooms where kids learn independence, cooperation, creative play, and prepare for the best possible start for kindergarten.
These spaces now reflect the joyful energy and meet the current needs of this great program.
Every child deserves a home and a healthy, happy environment to grow. These critical renovations will help us best serve our diverse community for another 100 years and beyond. Thank you again to our partners, donors, and friends for their support in making this transformation possible.
Too many people across our city, state and country are dying of overdoses. Why? Fentanyl.
Fentanyl is a fast-acting synthetic opioid that is 30 to 50 times stronger than heroin. Pharmaceutical fentanyl is prescribed legally for severe pain and end-of-life care. But non-pharmaceutical fentanyl is produced illegally and has been found in many drugs including cocaine, ketamine, heroin, methamphetamine and counterfeit prescription drugs.
Important information to know and share:
- Fentanyl has been detected in counterfeit pills that look identical to prescription drugs like Xanax, Klonopin, OxyContin and Vicodin.
- A dose of fentanyl as small as three grains of rice can be lethal.
- You can’t see, smell or taste if a drug contains fentanyl. Fentanyl test strips can show if fentanyl is present, but now how much. Fentanyl test strips can be obtained at any of our Harm Reduction Outreach Services locations.
- People use drugs for a variety of reasons. They may be stressed, impulsive, bored, or curious and seeking to experiment. Perhaps they have a friend who takes drugs and offers them some. Fentanyl is a real risk whatever the reason.
- Signs of an overdose include: unresponsiveness, loss of consciousness; blue, gray or white lips or fingernails; slow or stopped breathing, snoring or gurgling sounds. Watch this video to learn the signs of overdose and how to give someone Narcan.
-
Narcan is a safe medication that reverses overdoses and can be lifesaving. Carry it with you. Free Narcan kits are available for pick up at any of our Harm Reduction Outreach Services locations as well as at our headquarters at 400 E. Gray St., Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. The Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition also provides Narcan and overdose prevention training.
- Addiction can happen to anyone. Treatment is available and recovery is possible. Findhelpnowky.org is a website to help anyone find an addiction treatment facility that is taking new clients right now. The KY HELP Statewide Call Center is also available at 1-877-318-1871. The Kentucky Opioid Assistance and Resource Hotline is also available by calling 1-800-854-6813.

Soon many people who were able to obtain Medicaid health insurance during the COVID-19 public health emergency may lose their coverage if they don’t reapply and show proof that they qualify. This means providing information on income, household size, and proof of residency in the state of Kentucky.
Here’s more information you need to know:
- More than 45,000 people in Jefferson County could lose their Medicaid coverage if they don’t reapply.
- This applies to anyone with these Medicaid plans: Passport, Aetna, Humana, Wellcare and United Healthcare.
- You will receive several notifications telling you when it is time to reapply. You will have a limited amount of time to respond, or you will lose your Medicaid coverage. Look for any of these notifications: a letter from the U.S. Department of Medicaid Services, a text or email message from the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services Department of Medicaid Services.
- Not everyone with Medicaid today will be able to keep their current insurance.
-
There is local help available. Family Health Centers has insurance specialists who can help you through the recertification process. You can call 502-772-8182 or go online to make an appointment to meet with an insurance specialist during your renewal period.
