Cincinnati Nature Center

Cincinnati Nature Center connects people of all ages with the natural world. With more than 20 miles of award-winning trail on 1,800 acres, we offer year-round opportunities to explore forests, fields, streams, and ponds. Through engagement, education, and stewardship, we empower visitors, members, and neighbors to care for nature, starting in their own backyards. As one of the largest private non-profit nature centers in the country, we are known for innovation and leadership. Our scientific research informs land management nationally and regionally both for conservation professionals and homeowners, our nature playscape and nature preschool have been a model for others in the region, and our one-of-a-kind “conservation civics” programs prepare citizens to contribute meaningfully to decisions that impact nature in their own communities. Our work enhances the health and well-being of our community and our environment while inspiring conservation of the natural resources upon which we all depend.
