Who We Are

Hidden Hollow borders on Floyds Fork, a stream running through Oldham and Jefferson counties, near Louisville, Kentucky. The watershed provides a continuous green space connecting farmland, forests, parks and low density development as it meanders to the Salt River. Hidden Hollow is a refuge for abundant native wildlife at the edge of an major urban area. Its surprising diversity of flora and feathered and furry families inspired us to protect and enhance the habitat, and to pass along what we have learned to others who may have a similar opportunity.
