Human population pressures over the past centuries, including fragmentation and intensive land utilization, have placed increasing pressures on the unique and sensitive ecosystem of the Inner Bluegrass region. Pre-European settlement vegetation in the region consisted of open canopied, savanna-like forests characterized by oaks and ash that differed considerably from surrounding forests. Bur oak and blue ash are “signature trees” of the Inner Bluegrass, but the region also sustains chinquapin and shumard oaks, white ash, hickories, and Kentucky coffee trees. Recent recognition of the value and rarity of this ecosystem led to significant steps toward its preservation, including establishment of Griffith Woods Research Farm. The property has ...
