Kentucky Waterways Alliance and our partners Louisville Metro Sewer District (MSD), Olmsted Parks Conservancy, Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission, Louisville Metro District 9 Councilman Andrew Owen, Louisville Metro District 8 Councilman Ben-Reno Webber, and Brightside will host a cleanup to address litter in areas surrounding Beargrass Creek, specifically in Cherokee Park and the Beargrass Greenway. Located in the Salt River Basin, Beargrass Creek serves as a tributary to the Ohio River and spans across Jefferson County at Kentucky’s north central border. Beargrass Creek Watershed serves as the primary drainage basin for Louisville and Jefferson County, covering more than 60 square miles among its three forks: muddy fork, middle fork, and south fork. This primarily urban creek flows through neighborhoods and local parks such as Joe Creason Park and Cherokee Park, providing important opportunities for water-based recreation and environmental education. Beargrass Creek flows in primarily through Louisville, Kentucky, located within Jefferson County. Louisville is home to more than 622,000 people as well as fascinating outdoor-based tourism attractions such as the Louisville Mega Cavern, the Louisville Zoo, the Beargrass Creek Nature Preserve, and the Olmsted Parks system. The Kentucky Waterways Alliance is thrilled to partner with organizations and communities striving to protect their waterways while promoting community engagement. We hope to see you on April 19th, as we clean up Cherokee Park and the surrounding areas of Beargrass Creek.

According to the 2024 Housing Needs Assessment, the unmet need for housing for the city’s lowest income residents grew 15% to 36,160 units, and more than a quarter of Louisville households remain cost burdened, meaning they pay more than 30% of their income toward housing expenses. More than 11% are severely cost burdened, paying more than 50% for housing expenses. What can be done?
Urbanist Jeana Dunlap will moderate the forum. Each speaker will address the need for housing, obstacles to achieving housing, and some solutions. The audience will be able to ask questions. Featured presenters are:
Andrew Owen, Metro Council Representative of District 9 Tony Curtis, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Housing Coalition Rae Martin, Executive Director of the St. John Center Elizabeth Strojan, Executive Director, Louisville Metro Housing Authority
The forum is free and open to the public. Accessible parking is available in the League’s parking lot.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy. It empowers voters and defends democracy through advocacy and education at the local, state, and national levels.

Whitehall is pleased to announce that it will host a workshop as part of its Whitehall Wednesday series entitled “Summertime Herbs and Veggies” on Wednesday, April 30. Hosted by Marlena Wolf of Edible Gardens Inc., this class will offer guidance on starting seeds, direct sowing vs. transplanting, soil preparation, and planting plans (including spatial considerations). The class begins at 6:00 p.m. and reservations are required. The cost is $50 per person. Students can register at https://www.historicwhitehall.org/whitehall-wednesdays.
Marlena Wolf is a farmer, professional garden designer, horticultural expert, and educator. She specializes in food gardens, design, and raised bed garden installation.
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 6 p.m. 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.

You might know that millions of birds migrate over Louisville every spring and fall. But did you also know that billions of migrating birds are hurt or killed each year in the U.S.—and it’s due to artificial light at night pulling them off course or causing them to fly into windows and buildings?
With your help, Lights Out Louisville—a Louisville Audubon Society conservation initiative—aims to change that.
The solution is simple, and anyone can be a part of it:
—This April and May, between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., turn off non-essential lights—both indoors and outside—and close your blinds, shades, and curtains.
—By reducing artificial nighttime light during the two biggest migration months in our area, we give migrating birds a better chance of surviving their long journeys.
—With a few simple actions, you’ll help save birds—and save money on your electricity bill at the same time!
Visit www.lightsoutlouisville.org to learn how going Lights Out is good for birds as well as people, and how you can be a part of the solution.
If you decide to go Lights Out, you can help Louisville Audubon track the program’s impact across our city by filling out a short pledge form as a resident/homeowner, or on behalf of your business or a commercial facility you own/operate. You can find both pledge forms on the Lights Out Louisville homepage at the address above. Business and commercial supporters will be promoted on the Lights Out Louisville website and on social media.
The Louisville Audubon Society thanks you for making the choice to go Lights Out!

Framing: The steel frame in an elongated checkerboard pattern on the external side serves as the framework for exterior features. You can see this from the main driveway off Frankfort Avene, directly above the large awning that will serve as the new main entrance.
Preparing for a future classroom: Leveling on the ground floor has begun for what will eventually become a classroom. The floor is visible from the corner of Frankfort Avenue and State Street.
Steel prep work: On the State Street side, work is taking place to prepare the area for a steel structure that will attach to the existing building, which dates to 1923. To honor the history of older existing buildings, some historic brickwork is included in the façade of the new museum.
Entry floor underground plumbing: There are several PVC pipes sticking straight up out of the gravel ground. This will be the first restroom upon entering the building.
