Conservation & Land Stewardship - Northside Greenspace - Forest Restoration Projects
![]() |
Northside Greenspace Inc. is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization founded to identify, preserve and restore natural areas in Northside and surrounding Cincinnati, Ohio communities. Workshops and lectures provide information concerning the issues and processes influencing our community natural areas. Our field trips provide community members with the opportunity to experience the beauty and interest of nature. Volunteer work projects provide hands on learning experiences for community members and result in tangible improvements to our greenspaces. Our advocacy alerts public and private agencies and individuals to what they can and should be doing to conserve and improve greenspaces. |
