Western Wildlife Corridor

Layer 5

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 over 460 acres of forests at eight preserves that are open for the public to explore, learn, and discover.  

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