Your membership helps preserve our beautiful wooded hillsides, restore vital natural habitats, and create a home for rare and threatened wildlife. Your support also enhances trail access, coordinates dedicated volunteers, and educates the next generation of nature stewards.

There are over 440 acres of forest, 8 public nature preserves, and 10 miles of hiking trails for you to explore!

There is so much to discover at an upcoming event. All of our events are free, family-friendly, open to the public, and led by local experts.

Learn how you can help us protect 17 acres of forest from development and grow the Corridor!

You can stay up to date with our newsletter, The Steward, which is filled with fun stories, terrific photos, and upcoming events.

Our Story

We are dedicated to protecting, restoring, and preserving natural habitats and providing education to foster connections with the environment. Since 1992, we have been focused on preserving natural green spaces and now protect 440 acres of forests at eight preserves that are open for the public to explore, learn, and discover.  

Our ultimate vision is to establish a protected wildlife corridor that spans over 30 miles along the Ohio River Valley, from Mill Creek in Lower Price Hill to the Great Miami River at the Indiana border. This wildlife corridor offers numerous benefits, including providing habitat for plants and animals, safeguarding endangered and rare species, connecting communities, inspiring individuals to engage with the outdoors, preserving local history, and fostering future environmental stewards.
