Over thousands of years\, that water carved the passageways of Lost River Cave – quietly shaping a place of wonder beneath our feet. That same water\, filtered through limestone\, gives Kentucky bourbon its unmistakable character. \nIt’s a shared story. A natural legacy. And it’s one worth protecting. \nAt Lost River Cave\, that legacy doesn’t stop underground – it takes flight in the Charlie Miller Butterfly Habitat. This screened-in garden is more than a beautiful space; it’s an immersive\, living classroom designed to spark curiosity and inspire action. Here\, visitors step inside the world of native pollinators – slowing down\, observing closely\, and beginning to understand the vital role these species play in the health of our ecosystems. \nFor many\, it’s their first quiet moment with a butterfly. And often\, it’s the beginning of a deeper connection to the natural world. That connection matters. \nButterflies and other pollinators are essential to life as we know it\, yet their habitats are rapidly disappearing. By protecting this space – and keeping it free and accessible – we’re creating opportunities for people of all ages to not only learn\, but to leave inspired to care for the wild places around them\, wherever they call home. \nThat’s where bourbon comes in. By raffling rare\, sought-after bottles like Pappy Van Winkle bourbon and Blanton’s bourbon\, we’re transforming Kentucky’s most celebrated spirit into something even more meaningful: a way to sustain this place of discovery\, education\, and impact. \nEvery ticket purchased helps keep the Butterfly Habitat thriving – for the next moment of wonder\, the next spark of curiosity\, and the next person inspired to protect the natural world. Because the future of our natural world isn’t bound by geography – it’s something we all have a role in protecting.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Not into bourbon?

Founded in the late 1970s by Dr. Nicholas Crawford\, a pioneer of dye tracing\, the lab played a key role in restoring Lost River Cave in the 1990s and developing its iconic cave tour. \nWhat is dye tracing?  \nDye tracing is a method of investigating the movement of groundwater. Dye trace investigations can be designed to solve environmental issues involving the origin\, destination\, routing\, and velocity of groundwater flow. \nWhat dye was used today? \nGreen 8 Dye used in small amounts to sustain water coloration for about 48 hours\, is commonly found in everyday products like soaps and medications. There’s a good chance you’ve encountered this dye in your daily life! \nIs the dye harmful to organisms living in the water?  \nThe Green 8 Dye\, used in small\, controlled amounts\, poses no harm to human health and is carefully selected for detection at minimal concentrations. In flowing streams\, the dye is diluted quickly\, ensuring only short-term exposure.

Come as you can\, for the duration you can. \nThis event is perfect for individuals who are comfortable with physical activities such as bending\, crouching\, and pulling.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Invasive Plant (VIP) Initiative
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1744917696557{padding-left: 10px !important;}”]Butterfly Release 12:30pm[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join us for a Volunteer Invasive Plant (VIP) Initiative event! This community-driven program invites volunteers of all ages and backgrounds to come together and help protect our park’s natural ecosystem. During the VIP\, we work to remove invasive\, non-native plant species that threaten the health of local wildlife and native vegetation. It’s a great way to make a tangible impact on the environment\, learn about the importance of biodiversity\, and meet like-minded people who care about conservation. Tools\, gloves\, and guidance will be provided—just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to get your hands dirty. Come as you can\, for the duration you can. \nThis event is perfect for individuals who are comfortable with physical activities such as bending\, crouching\, and pulling. Volunteers will be engaging in hands-on tasks like removing weeds\, digging up roots\, and pulling out invasive plants from the ground.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]Sign Up[vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nFAQ\n\nWhat do I need to wear?  We recommend wearing long pants and closed-toed shoes.\n\n\nWhat do I need to bring?  Bring gardening gloves if you prefer your own and a reusable water bottle.
