Big Bone Lick

Todd Young is the naturalist at Big Bone Lick State Park in Boone County, Kentucky.

A naturalist is a person who studies natural history: animals and plants and how they evolve.  Note that this job is not to be confused with a naturist, which is someone who enjoys life “clothing optional.”

Todd graduated from Northern Kentucky University with degrees in both Anthropology and Philosophy.  He started at Big Bone Lick in the spring of 2002 as a seasonal naturalist and recreation specialist.  In November 2006, Todd became the full-time naturalist for the park.

Todd and the naturalist staff at Big Bone Lick State Park offer high quality educational and community outreach programs that are tailored specifically to each individual group.  If you are lucky to run into Todd while visiting the park, you’ll find him to be very approachable, knowledgeable, and an all-around nice guy.

You can phone Todd at 859-384-3522 or send email to todd.young@ky.gov
