Trail Service at Morning View Heritage Area

Northern KY Sierra Club blazed nature trails at the new Morning View Heritage Area nature preserve in South Kenton County 2016-21. Now we focus on keeping the trails in good shape. This spring we'll assist Kamryn Lee of Kenton County Conservation District (KCCD) with work on the Kreissl Trail. KCCD and Sierra Club will provide gloves, loppers and hacksaws. KCCD will provide trash bags for litter pickup. If anyone has trash stakes or picker-uppers, bring them!

If there's time we can also do some removal of invasive plant species along the trail. Expect the work to be light, casual and self-paced. We hike and talk as we work.

Location is in SE Kenton County just west of the Licking River. For more info and a trail map to print or copy to your smartphone, visit NKY Sierra Club's online Hiking Guide:
