Little Wolf Nature Preserve is a 180-acre private preserve in the Daniel Boone National Forest in southern Kentucky, USA. Our mission is to preserve a small slice of the beautiful Kentucky mountains for future generations of wildlife and people to enjoy. We created this blog to support our efforts to preserve this land, and to provide others with the opportunity to enjoy the natural peace and beauty Kentucky has to offer.

We hiked up to the cliffs below Little Wolf Peak in early March. Though it was nearly 60 degrees outside, there were still a couple inches of snow on the ground and massive ice formations on the cliffs.
We encountered some of the largest icicles we’ve ever seen. Many were over 10 feet long and too thick to wrap your hand around, and a couple icicles grew to as much as 20 feet long.

We went for a hike on this sunny but chilly early March day at Little Wolf Nature Preserve.
The beavers have left our pond once again. Theresa is trying to move a big tree that fell over the entrance to the beaver den.

A lone tree in Little Wolf’s North Forest has decided to go red early.
An overcast day sometimes brings out the foliage colors even more than sunny days.
Soon the forest will be more red than green.

Check out this video of Theresa testing her new Mossberg 20-gauge pump-action shotgun. Theresa practiced killing zombies for when the bio-engineered plague infects humankind in the 2012 Apocalypse. 
She’s a crack shot and went 5-for-5. We decided to kill our old water heater here at Little Wolf… that’ll teach it not to work!

We had the pleasant surprise of finding the cutest small fawn in the field below Jimmy Pond.
Actually, it was our dog Darby who found the fawn. Darby was barking in the brush with that “Come check it out, I’ve got something trapped” bark. When we arrived, Darby was nose-to-nose with the fawn, which was about the same size as Darby but still quite clumsy on its feet.

The bridge at the east entrance to Little Wolf Nature Preserve was destroyed by flash flooding of Little Wolf Creek:
This was a good news/bad news situation. The bad news is now we have to build another bridge. The good news is this bridge didn’t collapse while we were crossing it! The bridge was getting pretty rickety before the flood. We wouldn’t even let visitors drive over it, though we still used it ourselves.

The Little Wolf Nature Preserve has just acquired new land adjacent to the preserve, bringing the total to 180 acres. Click on the panorama below to see a full size picture:
Thanks to Lela Mae and David McKnight for selling their land to Little Wolf Nature Preserve. They have helped preserve more of these beautiful Kentucky mountains for future generations of wildlife and people to enjoy. Special thanks to Glen and Geraldine Rountree for helping to facilitate the sale.
The new land is essentially a long, steep, forested sunny hill.

We encountered a black racer snake on our hike last weekend. Though these snakes are not poisonous, they can be aggressive when cornered. Their bite is also very painful, something we’ve fortunately not experienced. Black Racers are so named because they are very quick and can “run” almost as fast as humans.

Our friend Kim visited Little Wolf for the first time. It was a beautiful, sunny fall day about a week after color peak.
Kim (right) is checking out Theresa’s apple and cherry tree orchard that’s just a few years old. Moses Mountain rises in the background. You can see a number of large oaks prominent now with their rust-colored leaves.
