Pollinator Plots - Oct 2021.xlsx

This is an inventory spreadsheet documenting current wildflower and pollinator plots maintained by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet across eleven districts. The document lists 139.17 total acres of pollinator habitat distributed across multiple counties and highway routes, including Interstate 24, Interstate 65, Interstate 264, Interstate 265, Interstate 271, Interstate 64, the Parkway system (Western Kentucky Parkway, Cumberland Parkway, Mountain Parkway, and Hal Rogers Parkway), and various state routes. The plots are identified by specific geographic coordinates including district, route, county, milepoint, and acreage, with descriptive comments noting site characteristics such as rest area locations, interchange positions, gore areas, and special considerations like bee complaint areas.

The plots employ various seed mixes, including pollinator-specific blends and Premier Seed mixes, distributed across multiple geographic regions from western Kentucky counties such as Lyon and Muhlenberg to eastern counties including Carter, Rowan, Powell, Perry, and Clay. Individual plot sizes range from 0.20 acres to 12.32 acres, with concentrations of activity in districts 4 and 5, which contain the majority of the documented acreage. The spreadsheet serves as a baseline inventory as of October 2021 and does not contain information regarding funding sources, pricing, contract terms, or procurement details.
