🌿 Help Shape the Future of Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary! 🌿

We invite you to join us for the Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary Planning and Design Workshop on Friday, September 19, 2025, from 3:00–5:00 PM at Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary in Frankfort.

This interactive session—facilitated by 3rd-year students from the University of Kentucky’s Department of Landscape Architecture in partnership with Bluegrass Greensource—gives community members the chance to share ideas, feedback, and recommendations that will directly influence Buckley’s future.

Come ready to participate in engaging breakout activities, connect with fellow community members, and help us reimagine Buckley as a thriving hub for environmental education, conservation, and community connection.

Celebrate the season. Discover our roots. Reconnect with nature.

Join us this fall at the Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary for a one-of-a-kind festival that brings together families, nature lovers, and community partners for a day of fun, learning, and celebration.

At Autumn Fest, Buckley comes alive with:

• 🍂 Family Adventures – Nature hike, and interactive kids’ activities that spark curiosity and wonder.

• 🎶 Local Flavor – Live music, delicious seasonal food, and a community market featuring local artisans and green businesses.

• 🌿 Hands-On Learning – Environmental demonstrations, heritage tours, and sustainability activities that connect us to Buckley’s past and future.

• 🦉 A Sanctuary Experience – Explore trails, meet educators, and see firsthand how Buckley is growing into a hub for environmental education in Central Kentucky.

Autumn Fest is more than a festival—it’s a chance to reconnect with Buckley’s roots, celebrate the beauty of fall, and help support the ongoing restoration of this historic sanctuary.

✨ Mark your calendars and bring the whole family—Autumn Fest is Central Kentucky’s newest fall tradition!
