An urban forest master plan is underway in Louisville, focused on health and quality of life. Why, you might ask? Here's what we know:
- Louisville is dealing with heat stress and challenges with air quality. This has impacts on us all, but is especially impactful for underserved and low-income communities.
- Trees are one of the most effective ways to deal with these issues - cooling neighborhoods, intercepting air pollutants, absorbing stormwater and more.
- We also know from studies that we were losing tree canopy. We have been working hard for more than a decade to reverse this trend, and have started to make some progress, but there are still significant inequities between neighborhoods and much more work to be done.
- Additionally, we know that the majority of tree canopy is on private property, so while Louisville Metro is working to improve canopy on public lands, any real change and progress will require community-wide effort.
The Louisville urban forest master plan (called the Louisville Tree Plan) is needed to comprehensively explore the challenges and opportunities we face, bring the community together to identify our needs, priorities and resources, and engage all involved to come away with a solid strategic plan for addressing the urban forest over the next two decades. Please consider providing input this summer. This will take the entire community to make happen. Here's how: (Link: https://www.louisvilletreeplan.org/get-involved.html)
The next Pop-Up Drop-Off event will be Saturday, July 20 at 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Fern Creek Elementary and High School. Please enter at the elementary school at 8815 Ferndale Rd. View the entire 2024 schedule.
Tips for attending a Pop-Up Drop-Off:
Pop-Up Drop-Off events are extremely popular, and our staff strives to make the drive-through experience as efficient as possible. Here are seven tips for attending a Pop-Up Drop-Off:
-
Do not arrive early! All Pop-Up Drop-Off events start at 10 a.m. A line of vehicles causes traffic backups and prevents our equipment from entering.
-
Only bring sensitive documents to be shredded! The line for shredding is usually the longest. We have seen catalogs, paperback books, etc. being shredded, which is unnecessary and takes up valuable time.
-
Make sure no items are mixed with your documents! We've seen hammers, scissors, and toys mixed in with documents. These contaminants can break the shredding truck's equipment!
-
Try giving away usable items first! We see a LOT of decent items being trashed or recycled at our events. Some residents even offer these items to workers - staff is not allowed to keep items. Please try to donate or give away BEFORE coming to our waste and recycling event.
-
Loads of construction materials, lumber, and loose debris are NOT allowed! Take these loads to the Waste Reduction Center at 636 Meriwether Ave instead. Pop-Up Drop-Off events are very popular - please follow the rules so we can keep the line moving.
-
Separate your loads into the various categories! More can be recycled, and the line moves faster when you are ready to offload your items at each station.
Check-in staff will ask for your zip code and which types of items you brought. We track this information so we can keep improving our events. Most residents bring large items, electronics, and documents for shredding. Other categories include metal (or mostly metal) items, tires, yard waste, household recyclables, prescription medication, and shoes.
Join the Peterson Dumesnil House for the next Concert Under the Cupola on Sunday, July 21st at 6:30pm with local band, Family Matters! These are free, family-friendly events that feature local bands performing on the front porch or lawn. Bring your chair and enjoy live music with your neighbors!

Louisville, KY. – Whitehall is pleased to announce it will offer an orchid-growing class on Wednesday, July 24, at 6:00 p.m. Orchids are gorgeous but often misunderstood plants. Some think they're tricky to care for because they're not like typical houseplants, but that's not true! This class is for anyone who loves orchids, whether they're just starting out or giving them another try. Instructor Javier Rodriguez will show students how to look after their orchid so it can bloom beautifully. The class will cover basics like re-potting and watering, and students will learn how to spot any problems so they can grow happy orchids at home. Students will discover the joy of caring for these amazing plants. Registration is $30 per person. Space is limited and reservations are required. Students may register here: https://www.historicwhitehall.org/whitehall-wednesdays.
Javier Rodriguez has been growing orchids at home for 15 years without fancy setups, and he will explain why orchids actually love our homes. He shares these two important tips: Be patient with your orchids; and sometimes, less attention is better for them.
In the Whitehall Wednesday series, Whitehall House and Gardens will host educational workshops for adults that focus on plants within the disciplines of art, gardening, science and forestry on the last Wednesday of every month, starting at 6pm. We partner with flower farmers, florists, arborists, horticulturalists and naturalists to bring fresh new programming to plant lovers in Louisville.
Proceeds from the program will 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 house was transformed in 1909 into the iconic Classical style mansion we know today that epitomizes the stately beauty of early twentieth-century architecture. At just under ten acres, Whitehall’s grounds offer the public multiple special gardens that are a horticultural treasure to the community.
