The Piatt Property
Ohio River Conservation Corridor at the Northern Kentucky Shore
We did it! We are so thankful to everyone who helped us succeed for conservation!
With help from many in our community The Boone Conservancy raised $2 million to conserve and protect the beautiful Piatt Property on the Ohio River. This 350-acre property forms a protected riparian corridor with Indiana and Ohio -- the Oxbow and Shawnee Lookout, respectively.

Overview of the Project
This project will restore and preserve 368 acres along 1.25 miles of the Ohio River in Northern Kentucky. In doing so, the project will create a protected riparian corridor for native plant and animal species by connecting to 3,000 already protected acres across the river in Indiana and Ohio. The unique location is the home of a large canopy forest, streams, wetlands, endangered species and important historical and cultural resources, including connections to the Underground Railroad, significant tribal sites and America's 250th. Rapid economic growth, stimulated in part by the construction of the national Amazon Air Hub, make this property at high risk for development.
