Campbell County, Kentucky Rare Salamanders and Frogs Situated along the Ohio River in Melbourne, Kentucky, St. Anne Woods and Wetlands’ 164 acres of wetlands and mature forests are home to rare flora and fauna. The site’s lowland and upland forests hold a diversity of tree species, while wetlands contain water-filled depressions that provide a rich habitat for a variety of species. Previously the property of St. Anne Convent, the site has served as a beacon of research and education for over a century.
