Kentucky Heartwood

We need forests we can get lost in; trees that make us gape; streams we can drink from. 
​Wild places sustain and define us; ​we, in turn, must protect them.

Be a Nurse Log

So far, you have helped us raise $581! We have $1,413 to go to meet our goal of $1,994, which will allows us to pay our increased rent costs and get computers for our staff.

This photo shows a small hemlock tree growing on a nurse log in McCreary county, on the Lick Creek Falls Trail. Nurse logs are fallen decaying trees that other trees grow on. Trees that have grown on nurse logs often have tall roots that look like a cathedral when the tree is large. This happens because the nurse log rots away as the tree grows, leaving tall exposed roots. The nurse log also provides special growing conditions for hemlock seedlings, allowing for a greater chance of survival than if they germinated directly in soil on the forest floor. Our hemlock trees are struggling to survive due to an insect called the hemlock wooly adelgid. Kentucky Heartwood is working to protect our hemlocks in every way we can. Please help us. Be a nurse log and help us continue to grow!

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! Emily, Tuesday, Peggy, Glenn, Sabin, Eva, Amber, Max, John, Gerry, Daniela , Falcon, Joan, George, James, Ann, Jennifer, Sarah, Nathan, Randall, Kelly, Linda and Amy <3 <3 <3

Our rent is going up and we are in need of two laptops for our staff. $1,994 will cover these costs. Please donate what you can. A donation of over $5 includes a membership in Kentucky Heartwood for you or a friend! Support our work that we've been doing for 25 years (2017 is our 25 year anniversary!). Turn your love of Kentucky's incredible public lands into action, and ​help us hang on!
