Join LFUCG, UK Extension to explore local creeks during Water Week 2026
The city of Lexington, the University of Kentucky and Fayette County Public Schools invite Lexington residents to celebrate Kentucky’s rivers and streams during Water Week, March 20-29. For the seventh year, Water Week encourages Lexingtonians to find a connection to local creeks through dozens of in-person, virtual and self-guided events.
Water Week opportunities include programs at city parks, including a Salamander Spotlight at Raven Run, creek cleanups where residents can get involved with their local neighborhood association or watershed group, a workshop about pollinator gardens at The Arboretum, State Botanical Garden of Kentucky. Individual and self-guided activities include participating in Creek Sweep litter cleanups and storm drain stenciling.
“Water Week is an opportunity for folks to learn more about water and its importance to our society,” said Lee Moser, senior agriculture extension associate. “It also gives folks an opportunity to engage in hands-on experiences that highlight ways to protect and improve water quality through the decisions we make in our everyday lives.”
