Louisville Seeks Public Input on Forest Master Plan

Louisville Seeks Public Input on Forest Master Plan


By Blake Jackson

Mayor Craig Greenberg and Louisville Parks and Recreation are encouraging residents to help shape the future of Jefferson Memorial Forest by sharing their input through a brief survey.

Community feedback will play a central role in developing a new master plan that will guide how the forest is preserved, enhanced, and enjoyed for years ahead.

“Jefferson Memorial Forest is a natural gem, not just for Louisville, but for the entire region, and this master plan is our chance to listen and learn from the people who care about it most,” said Mayor Craig Greenberg. “We want every voice to be heard as we start this exciting process.”

The planning effort is structured in three stages: Discovery, Framework, and Trailhead. The current Discovery phase focuses on community engagement, with leaders seeking input through public events, listening sessions, and surveys.

Insights collected during this phase will influence draft recommendations before being refined into a long-term strategy for the forest.

“This discovery phase serves as an invitation for people from across Louisville to share their ideas and vision, helping Jefferson Memorial Forest remain a vibrant destination for beauty, adventure, and belonging,” said Michelle King, Executive Director of Louisville Parks and Recreation. “That’s why we are going the extra mile to make sure every voice has a chance to shape its future.”

In addition to the online survey, community members can meet representatives in person at World Fest on August 30 and the St. James Art Fair on October 3.
