The Kenton Conservancy
|
The Kenton Conservancy is dedicated to preserving land and waterways in perpetuity throughout Kenton County, Kentucky in order to improve the quality of life for all our citizens.
A significant participation opportunity is the donation of land for conservation through deeds or easements. Such donations provide the opportunity of possible tax incentives. We also request the contribution of stewardship funds to maintain the quality of the properties. Other participation opportunities include participation in different membership levels, financial donations, and volunteer work to enhance these life-giving green spaces and their access for the public. Your involvement also helps to maintain the Conservancy's public presence in Kenton County and protect these lands and waterways. We rely on our good neighbors to help protect conserved land. If you see any destructive behavior such as ATVs, fire building, cutting trees, dumping trash or hunting, please call your local police. County dispatch is: 859-356-3191. You can report the activity anonymously. Thank you! The Kenton Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) Non Profit Organization. |

(June 4th, 2021; NKyTribune)
Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky now manages the new Kenton Conservancy Fund, which protects lands of natural, cultural, recreational, and historical significance for the people of Kenton County.
“The Kenton Conservancy holds over 200 acres of unique natural lands in conservation in Kenton County. We are pleased to partner with Horizon Community Funds to expand our support base while allowing us to continue with our passion of conservation.
While there were many lessons from the pandemic, what we learned is people turn to nature to relieve stress and help cope with the uncertainty caused by the pandemic. Our properties saw significant increase in users over the past year, which highlights the importance of our mission.
We are truly a grass roots organization of volunteers committed to preserving and enhancing nature and making it available for people to experience themselves. We would love to hear from anyone who is interested in nature, willing to volunteer, contribute or experience nature firsthand.”
