DID YOU KNOW?
Fort Thomas’ land area is 3,661 acres and 31% of it is still forested.
About 86 acres are considered high quality (large crown) forest and another 200 acres are medium quality (medium crown) forest. See the forest quality assessment here.
The Conservancy protects nearly 4 miles of land fronting the Ohio River.
Our forests are threatened by invasion of non-native plants, insects, and diseases and pressure from urbanization.
Measurable benefits of forests include biological diversity, air quality improvement, noise, and light buffering, property values, and lower crime.
Forest benefits relate to recreation, outdoor education, wildlife habitat, natural heritage, and community way of life.
