Our hikes and lectures are free and open to the public, and all are welcome. (but we depend on our memberships to cover our expenses.) ."You don’t have to be a plant expert to enjoy these trips and lectures. The locations are amazing and the atmosphere is casual. I’ve enjoyed every event that I’ve attended for many years!"- BB.

Wednesday May 8, 2024 at about 5pm- Miami Whitewater Forest, Hamilton County, Ohio
Join Angela Carter on the seventh of her Wednesday Wanders to some of our local parks. We are meeting at the Timberlake Shelter Parking lot and will walk the Oakleaf Trail. Google maps knows the name Timberlakes Program Shelter, and park in the lot to the left of the location it takes you.
You may need to buy a GreatParks Day pass, if there are attendants in the booth as you drive into the park. You may pick up a map when you enter the park.
Angela writes “I work downtown so I may arrive a wee bit earlier or a smidge after 5 depending on traffic; the target is to start the trail at 5pm so feel free to call or text me, 513-300-2787, if you want to attend but run late." Please email amcarter@fuse.net with any questions.
Saturday, May 11, 2024 at 9 am (till noon): Give Back Day, Garlic Mustard Pull at Caesar Creek Gorge State Nature Preserve on Corwin Road, Warren County, Ohio
Join us to pull the invasive garlic mustard plant, which is easy to recognize and yank out of the ground. No experience is necessary. We want to help DNAP (Ohio Division of Natural Areas and Preserves) preserve this lovely area where so much work has already been done on the bush honeysuckle. Bring gloves and enthusiasm. We'll furnish bags. In previous years, we have had lunch afterwards at a local restaurant.
Note that we will be working at the Caesar Creek GORGE STATE NATURE PRESERVE on Corwin Road, (and NOT the nearby Caesar Creek STATE PARK). Meet in the parking lot. Contact Christine Hadley at 513-850-9585 or christinehadley@earthlink.net if you have any questions or if late.
Google maps knows this location as Caesar Creek Gorge State Nature Preserve, 4080 Corwin Rd, Oregonia, OH 45054. If you need specific driving directions, contact Christine. Drive time from Cincy is 50 minutes.
