Kentucky Transportation Cabinet

TreesLouisville and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet have initiated a creative and innovative partnership to plant and maintain roadside vegetation in an effort to improve the safety and aesthetics of roadside rights-of-way. Our goal is to have safe, beautiful, stable, and self-sustaining landscapes with minimal maintenance requirements, designed with seasonal interest, plant diversity, and longevity in mind.
