‼️ EVENT POSTPONED: Astronomy Between the Trees ‼️

Unfortunately, due to anticipated cloud cover this evening, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone our Astronomy Between the Trees event for Tree Week. 🌥️

Although it is sunny now, a large shield of clouds is supposed to overspread Kentucky this evening due to the incoming hurricane. Even light, high clouds create unsuitable conditions for astronomy.

Please stay tuned for the announcement about the new date! We look forward to exploring the stars with you soon! 💫

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for our Guided Mushroom Walk with Joe Lacefield from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. We were thrilled to see such a great turnout as participants explored Buckley’s trails, learned to identify local fungi, and discovered the important role mushrooms play in healthy ecosystems.

From fascinating finds along the trail to great conversations about the natural world, it was a fun and educational experience for all ages. A special thank you to Joe for sharing his expertise and helping us uncover the hidden wonders of Buckley!
