Chapters in Ohio

Meet members of Cincinnati Wild Ones and Western Wildlife Corridor for our annual hike  to view some of the most diverse and  beautiful display of wildflowers in Hamilton County.  Members may choose to walk all or part of the trail. Many wildflowers can be viewed without going too far along the trail. This loop trail starts at the gravel parking lot off Bender Road.  The trail winds through a shaded mature forest to the  hillside above the Ohio River. It is rich in wildflowers thanks to the invasive removal effort of WWC . Be prepared for rocky sections, steep parts, and exposed tree roots that can become slippery when wet—sturdy footwear is recommended, walking sticks offer more stability and please bring water. It’s been described as the “best place in Hamilton County to observe native wildflowers” by Dr. Denis Conover, botanist with the University of Cincinnati. The trails are well-maintained, have Trail markers (signposts), and feature four benches.

This program is hosted by the Campus Compact Envirocorps (CCEC) of Miami University students and will feature information booths and hands-on workshops on how to support local pollinators for food and biodiversity.

Join us for a leisurely stroll as we explore the trails and identify spring wildflowers together. No need to rush; we'll be taking our time to appreciate the beauty around us and identify the flowers we encounter along the way. We'll start at River Styx Park, 8200 River Styx Rd., Wadsworth, 44281

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes or boots suitable for walking on trails, rain or shine. Don't forget to bring water and sunscreen if needed. This hike won't be too strenuous; we'll be stopping frequently to admire flowers and practice identification.

We invite you to our Wild Ones Greater Cleveland monthly chapter meeting!

Join us for a free community screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a visually stunning documentary that reveals the hidden world of caterpillars and their essential role in sustaining life on Earth.

Featuring naturalist Sam Jaffe of The Caterpillar Lab and entomologist Doug Tallamy, co-founder of Homegrown National Park, the film reveals how these tiny creatures support entire food webs — from backyard birds to bears — and why biodiversity restoration begins in our own backyards.

From blooming meadows to city parks and backyard gardens, this inspiring film celebrates the magic of nature while showing families practical ways to make a difference.
