What tree evokes a river landscape more powerfully than a sycamore? Exciting news: that's one of several species we plan to plant this fall in our acreage on River Road at Blankenbaker Lane. This year we're raising the funds for that project through Give for Good Louisville. And we've also got the incredible news that the River Fields Board of Trustees is offering a match of $20,000 for the campaign! Early giving starts Sept. 7-9 and Give for Good day is Sept. 10. Here's a fabulous chance to double your gift and add trees to the River Road landscape!![]()

Good morning, River Fields friends! We had a great time yesterday with the team at Lamb Mowers. They showed up hungry and munched their way through one of our trails at Garvin Brown! What a fun way to get the grass cut! Thanks to Donny and Camila for bringing the flock.

Give for Good Louisville is coming up and we've got great news! Our Board of Trustees is putting up a $21,500 match so your contributions will be doubled. This year our Give for Good campaign will fund an exciting fall project - planting the Becky Brown Sanctuary at our acreage on River Road at Blankenbaker Lane. We're creating a flood-resilient gem that will make scenic River Road even more beautiful. Tree species include swamp white oak, which can support as many as 500 different species of caterpillar. The Sanctuary is named in honor of our Trustee, Becky Brown, one of our community's most generous and thoughtful conservationists. ![]()

Folks, we've got some baaaaaaad news about Garvin Brown Nature Preserve! Just kidding: actually, it's awesome news. We're working with Lamb Mowers to attack our invasive plants at the preserve. Lamb Mowers is a new company that brings its small herd of hungry sheep to feast on overgrown vegetation. They'll be at Garvin Brown on Monday, Aug. 17 in the morning having breakfast if you want to come say hi! The sheep are very gentle-natured and are contained in a mobile pen, but we still respectfully request that dog owners abide by the leash ordinance while in the preserve.
