The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Division of Parks & Recreation has announced plans for the 2009 leaf collection program.  This program is for those residents of Fayette County who are in the Urban Services Area.  (Those who receive trash collection through the LFUCG Division of Waste Management qualify for this service.)  The program will begin on Monday, November 9, and will continue through the end of the year or until necessary.  To find out when the leaf collection crew will be working in various neighborhoods, individuals should click here for a complete listing of streets and when those areas will be serviced.  Citizens may also call LexCall at 311 or 425-2255 or the Division of Parks & Recreation at 425-2801.

The Raven Run Nature Center welcomed visitors to a progress open house on Oct 16, and many interested people got to see the impluvim roof system, natural cedar log supports and the large expanse of windows that will provide vistas of the meadow in front.  Raven Run is located at 5888 Jacks Creek Pike. Read about the progress and enjoy our photo gallery.
