Dedicated December 8, 2004, this 129-acre natural area in Fleming County protects a significant occurrence of the federally endangered Short’s goldenrod (Solidago shortii). Other than a recently discovered population near the Blue River in southern Indiana, all documented occurrences of this endemic species are from a two square mile area around Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park covering portions of three counties (Fleming, Nicholas and Robertson) in Kentucky. The preserve will be managed to enhance habitat for the goldenrod.
