Nature Hop is back and open for event submissions! This family-friendly event will be coming to green spaces near you this September. The City’s Division of Environmental Services is currently seeking events from community partners to help make Sunday, Sept. 17 an educational and fun day in nature.
Nature Hop promotes getting people outside to enjoy the variety of green spaces found throughout Fayette County and to find new ways to experience these spaces.
The event is designed to:
- Raise awareness of nature in our urban environment
- Encourage Lexington residents and visitors to experience natural spaces in new ways
- Publicize natural areas in Lexington that can serve for passive recreation
This year’s Nature Hop events will start at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2 p.m. and at 3:30 p.m. The staggered times are designed to let residents hop around to multiple activities if they wish.
Past Nature Hop events have included art tours, bird watching, creek walks and more.
Organizers are currently accepting event submissions on lexingtonky.gov/NatureHop. The deadline to submit an event is Monday, Aug. 21. Events may be in person, self-guided or virtual. All events submitted for consideration should be free.
