The Sanctuary consists of 374 acres along the Kentucky River, in
Woodford and Franklin Counties. Habitats include about 50
acres of fields, and two ponds surrounded by mixed-mesophytic
forest on the transition zone between northern and southern
flora and fauna. A gorge bisects the area; the subsurfaces are
limestone and rich in minerals and fossils.
This Sanctuary is the only area in Kentucky managed by the
National Audubon Society.
The Clyde E. Buckley Sanctuary
promotes native flora and fauna, and
provides active education. Thousands of
students, teachers and families attend
presentations every year, or take a
leisurely stroll among these pleasant
rural surroundings.
