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.

Rock Creek Hike

11/16/2009

 
On November 14, 2009, Kentucky Heartwood lead a hike to Rock Creek in McCreary County, site of our appeal victory earlier this year. The hike took us along the 5.2 mile loop made by Marks Branch Trail, the Sheltowee Trace, and Gobbler's Arch Trail. It was a beautiful, sunny, and warm day as we hiked along clear streams and beneath giant sandstone walls, and passed through forests of chestnut oak, black gum, beech, poplar, hemlock, and black birch (to name just a few).
