Pendery Sports Park Nature Trail is officially opening in November.
Developed through a partnership with Campbell Conservancy, the trail provides residents with an opportunity to explore nature and learn about the plants and wildlife found in Campbell County. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Nov. 6, at 1 p.m. at 4113 Williams Lane in Melbourne.
Among the area’s native plants is the locally rare white turtlehead flower, which is found in fewer than 25% of Kentucky’s counties and serves as a host plant for the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly. The project aims to highlight the importance of protecting natural areas, supporting native plants and creating spaces where residents can connect with nature.
The trail is located on the left side of the park entrance road, just past the “Pendery Park” entrance sign.
