Cincinnati Parks

Preserve Scarborough Woods, Inc., is an Ohio nonprofit corporation. A small group of Cincinnati Parks volunteers formed Preserve Scarborough Woods to facilitate the ecological restoration of a valuable urban greenspace that is owned by the Cincinnati Park Board. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff.

Help The Friends of Scarborough Woods in their efforts to remove invasive plants from this small preserve tucked away in a residential area. 

Residents have been volunteering their time and resources to remove honeysuckle, lesser celandine, garlic mustard and various invasive vines. They are restoring this area by planting native trees and seeds. 

The Preserve Scarborough Woods Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 from 6:30 to 7:30pm at the Evanston Recreation Center, 3204 Woodburn Ave., Cincinnati, 45207. Preserve Scarborough Woods board members and Cincinnati Parks conservationists will review and discuss progress made in 2025 and next steps for 2026. This meeting is open to the public. Information on registration can be found here. Those wishing to attend, please RSVP to info@ScarboroughWoods.org
