Our Mission
Western Wildlife Corridor's mission
is to protect the scenic beauty and
natural resources of the Ohio River
Valley through direct land protection and through
the promotion of responsible land use. Green space enhances
the quality of life for people in the community by helping
to remove pollutants from the air and water as well as increasing
property values of land near green belts.
To fulfill our mission, WWC
has worked since 1992 to preserve
and restore
the greenway corridor of wooded hillsides along
the Ohio River from the Mill Creek near downtown
Cincinnati to the Great Miami River bordering Indiana. Specifically,
WWC efforts focus on:
Increasing public awareness of the efforts of land
trusts and the importance of preserving land and restoring
native habitat
Protecting land through conservation
easements, donations or purchase
Providing protected green space for
endangered plants and wildlife
Advocating ecologically-friendly development
that preserves the environmental integrity of the area
Working with local government to preserve
land
Safeguarding the special places that
people value.
