Jeffers’ Bend Environmental Center is a nature refuge located right in Hopkinsville, and they offer events and slew of a nature amenities while looking to expand those services in the future.
Speaking with the Rotary Club of Hopkinsville Tuesday, Steering Committee Chair Charles Turner highlighted their many offerings, including a lake, walking trails, bird observatories, water features, gardens and more.
He says that’s just part of what they do—they also offer many events, from Take Kids Fishing Day to a humming bird festival to Naturefest, to Christmas at the Bend.
Turner says Jeffers Bend has always been blessed by a generous community and they’re always accepting of donations, especially as they look expand and renovate some gardens and extend youth programs in the future.
This year, Take Kids Fishing is set for May 27, then the Humming Bird Festival on August 27, Naturefest on September 16, the return of Torchlight Tales and the Bell Witch Costume Affair is set for October 21 and the Christmas at the Bend will be December 2.
