We inspire conservation through personal experiences\, education\, and care for the land. This involves training\, convening\, and consulting with citizens who want to make their communities better. We encourage residents to understand the perspectives\, values\, and constraints involved with complex issues in their communities. As we seek common ground and work together\, we can improve our local quality of life while supporting a thriving economy and healthy environment. \nConnie O’Connor is Director of Applied Learning for Cincinnati Nature Center and also serves on the Clermont Soil and Water Conservation District Board\, supporting best practices for agriculture and conservation.\nWhere to Meet: This program is online. \nCost: $50 for the entire series of 8 sessions (No refunds on individual sessions).

SUMMARY:Trail Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Registration Requirements: Preregistration required. \nRecommended Audience: This program is designed for adults. Children of any age are more than welcome with the understanding that it is an adult yoga class\, so children under 13 years of age may not be able to do everything or stay interested in the class. Adults will have to decide how much management of their children they are interested in doing. \nProgram Description: Connect to nature in a deeper way through the mindful movement and meditative practices found in yoga. During this on-the-trail experience\, participants might draw upon the stability of trees for balancing postures or extend into a turtle pose by the pond. Become part of nature by meditating in a creek\, hugging trees\, and breathing in the life force around you. All levels are welcome. \nAbout the Guides: Diane H. Schmidt uses her years of experience as a certified Kripalu Yoga instructor to guide others through a gentle yoga experience that brings in elements of nature. As the founder of the first Cincinnati yoga studio\, Cincinnati Yoga School and Bookstore\, Diane has led many yoga classes and developed her style that focuses on gentle stretches and mindful movement to help soothe stress. \nAmber Tucker has been volunteering for several years and has used yoga to heal from a medical setback. In 2024\, she began her Yoga Teacher Training\, inspired to share this path with others. Nature is her sanctuary\, and she looks forward to guiding others in discovering harmony between movement\, breath\, and the natural world. \nWhat to Expect: No prior yoga experience is necessary to enjoy this class. The instructor’s goal is to make yoga accessible for everyone using props and variations\, as needed. Trails and distances will vary between classes\, and we may encounter steps. Intensity is easy to moderate. \nThis program is entirely outdoors.\nRestrooms are available only at the start and end of the program\, as we will be out on the trails during the program.\nPets are not permitted at Cincinnati Nature Center programs or events.\nProgram runs rain or shine.\nWhat to Bring: Guests should bring water\, if the day is hot\, and a hiking stick if they have one\, for fun poses. (We’ll also have plenty of sticks to borrow or find in the forest to use for this purpose as well). A yoga mat is not needed. \nWhat to Wear: Participants should dress in layered\, loose\, comfortable\, athletic clothing—long cool pants suggested as we may step off trail. Hiking shoes or gym shoes are recommended. \nWhere to Meet: Registered participants will meet at the Fernwood Shelter at our Rowe Woods location.

SUMMARY:Fall 2026 Orchard Installation In Gamble Montessori Elementary
DESCRIPTION:Join the Common Orchard Project in creating a new public orchard! \nOrchards can be less work to produce food over time compared to vegetable gardens\, but installation is quite labor intensive.

Come learn how to plant trees\, fruit tree care\, and meet neighbors who care as much as you do. \nEvent Info: \n\nOctober 24\, Saturday\, 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM\nGamble Montessori Elementary\n2700 Felicity Pl\, Cincinnati\, OH 45211\n\nWe will be planting ~10 trees and laying down black plastic to remove the grass. If you are looking for a snapshot into what this might look like\, check out this video we created with a funding partner back in 2022.  \nAll tools and gloves provided\, just bring a water bottle and wear appropriate outdoor clothing to dig holes and plant trees.  \nAdditional Information: \nIf you are able to join and sign up\, please do follow through! It changes our plans and makes these days difficult if people change their minds at the last minute.
