Meet a Greenspace Hiking Series: Licking River Greenway

Explore protected and unprotected greenspaces in a hiking series by Green Umbrella’s Greenspace Alliance Program. The series will include explorations of greenspace gems in addition to urban strolls. Hikes will last one hour and allow us to join nature enthusiasts, the nature curious, and environmental conservation professionals as we collectively enjoy our time together outdoors.

Our next hike will occur on Friday, July 12th, at 3:00 p.m. along the Licking River Greenway in Covington.  We will meet at the Clayton Meyer Park entrance (1710 Glenway Ave., Covington, KY 41014).  Street parking is available at the park and in a newly paved parking lot south of Rizzo’s Painting (two blocks north of the park).

Local Licking River Greenway conservationist, Stan “The River Man” Nassano, will be leading this hike, enabling us to learn more about the trails’ history and the work that has gone into preserving it.  The hike will be mostly flat along gravel paths near the river.  Please wear sturdy shoes and be prepared to navigate some sloping terrain and muddy areas.

If you have questions or need assistance on the day of the event, contact Greenspace Alliance Manager Claire Carlson at claire@greenumbrella.org.
