Cincinnati Parks, the Civic Garden Center, and Walnut Hills High School students are collaborating on a large habitat restoration project located on ten acres of Parks property in front of the high school. This is a long-term project with an end goal of controlling invasive plant species, planting native plants, creating nature trails and establishing a designated space for environmental education and research within the community.  

*This project site is a qualifying project for earning required hours towards the Cincinnati Park Board Trained Service Person badge. 

Walnut Hills High School uses the space as an outdoor land lab, as these woods are located just steps from the main entrance to their school. 

This "Treeforestation" project is located on ten acres of land located between Victory Parkway & Sulsar Avenue - just in front of Walnut Hills School.
