Geocache Description:


Live Green Lexington has hidden 12 geocaches around the city. Each cache represents a theme about water quality. You will have the chance to learn more about stormwater, pollinator gardens, Reforest the Bluegrass, and the Citizens’ Environmental Academy. Ready to learn more about the ways we keep our water clean and healthy?

Each hidden cache contains a unique token that you can take and keep. Collect all 12, and you can win a prize. Email us at LiveGreen@LexingtonKY.gov once you find them all.

With the help of Lexington's Stormwater Quality Project's Incentive Grant Program, this company implemented numerous water quality designs and thought of ways our landscapes can do more! They installed a rooftop garden, which filters rainwater before it hits the ground, a rain catchment tank, a rain garden with plants native to Kentucky, and pervious pavers in their parking lot, which catches the water as it runs off and allows it to soak in the ground. Normal blacktop is not penetrable for water, and this is why stormdrains are so important for ubran infrastructure. 

This is a park and grab cache and should only be found during daylight hours.
