Greenbo to host nature exhibit

Argillite, Ky. — As a celebration of its 35th anniversary, the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission has put together a photo exhibit that is touring the state, including three Kentucky State Park locations.

The exhibit is made up of nature photographs, mostly from the book “Kentucky’s Natural Heritage: An Illustrated Guide to Biodiversity,” which presents a persuasive argument for conservation of the state’s biodiversity. Organized by a team from the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission, the book is richly detailed and lavishly illustrated with more than 250 color photos, maps and charts, showing off the Commonwealth’s amazing diversity.

The photographs, printed on aluminum to give a unique look, will be on display during the month of September in the lodge corridor of Greenbo Lake State Resort Park in Greenup, where the book will also be available for purchase.
