CNC Cincinnati Nature Center

Cincinnati Nature Center, Rowe Woods was the first location of what is now a group of nature preserves. Rowe Woods is being returned back to its natural state before the trees were all harvested in the first part of the 20th century.

Rowe Woods consists of acres of grass and wild flower fields, forest, ponds, water falls and streams. This original Cincinnati Nature Center site Rowe Woods boasts 14 miles of hiking trails for members and visitors to explore and enjoy. A great place to visit and enjoy nature.

The pictures below were all taken in 2002 with my 2.0 MP digital camera.

In 1965, a few dedicated naturalists, including Kay Benedict, Helen Black, Karl H. Maslowski, Katherine T. Nyce and Stanley M. Rowe Sr., created an place and organization where people could experience, learn and enjoy the natural Ohio. Cincinnati Nature Center's original location, Rowe Woods in Union Township, Ohio, was the physical location for the organization.

Cincinnati Nature Center's two sites Rowe Woods and Long Branch comprise acres of irreplaceable natural and agricultural land, making it one of the top 10 nature centers in the country. Cincinnati Nature Center's education programs reach 12,000 school children each year with hands-on lessons about ecology, and help ensure responsible stewardship of the land well into the future
