SUMMARY:Full Moon Walk: Flower Moon at Long Branch Farm and Trails
DESCRIPTION:Registration Requirements: Preregistration required. \nRecommended Audience: This program is designed for adults and children 12+. Children must be accompanied by an adult. \nProgram Description: Witness the night’s magic transform the trails as we marvel at the full moon and reveal natural history happenings on this quiet\, guided hike. Full Moon Walks provide rare opportunities to hike Cincinnati Nature Center trails when we’re normally closed. \nWhile each Full Moon Walk varies\, we generally stop periodically for natural history moments\, special readings\, or simply to admire the shadows cast by the full moon. As it’s nighttime\, the pace is slower. Leaders adjust the walking speed based on their group. \nWhat to Expect: On a Full Moon Walk\, you’ll take a 1-to-1.5-mile leisurely walk on a trail. \nWe avoid steps and stream crossings for safety.\nThe trails may be muddy during wetter times of the year\, but we’ll do our best to keep you dry.\nFor more information\, please see how to prepare for a night hike.\nNote: Please arrive promptly for the walk’s start time. Gatehouse only remains open for 15 minutes after program start time. \nWhere to Meet: Registered participants will meet at the Creekside Barn at our Long Branch Farm & Trails location. (6926 Gaynor Rd\, Goshen\, OH 45122) \nPricing: Ticket fees include daily admission.

SUMMARY:Sierra Club Local Outings Leader Open House
DESCRIPTION:Do you love the outdoors as well as a challenge? \nOhio’s outdoors are calling to you —vast forests\, the Great Lakes\, and wild spaces that inspire awe and action. And on the doorstep of so much more – from the gorges of Kentucky to the mountains of North Carolina to the snowy forests of Michigan. Whether it’s a walk in an urban park or a backpacking adventure in the Smokies\, we are committed to helping others “enjoy\, explore and protect” what we all love. \nSierra Club needs bold\, community-driven leaders who aren’t afraid of a challenge —leaders who see the outdoors not just as a place to explore\, but as a space for connection\, rejuvenation\, and advocacy. As a Sierra Club Outings Leader\, you’ll do more than guide hikes—you’ll inspire a new generation of environmental changemakers\, build inclusive outdoor experiences and teach others to enjoy the outdoors safely and responsibly. If you believe nature should be for everyone and want to create real impact where adventure meets activism\, this is your call to lead. \nWant to learn more? Register for our virtual Outings Leader Open House!

SUMMARY:The Ripple Effect Course: Unlocking Our Power to Protect Nature
DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays\, April 22\, April 29\, May 6\, May 13\, May 20\, 4 – 6 PM \nRegistration Requirements: Preregistration required. \nRecommended Audience: This program is designed for adult nature lovers who want to protect nature. \nProgram Description: You love nature and are already doing what you can to protect it with things like recycling\, planting native species\, and purchasing sustainable products. But you may wonder how much of a difference one person can really make. Through five in-person sessions and self-guided online resources like podcasts\, videos\, and articles\, we’ll pool collective knowledge\, grow our optimism\, and explore which actions have the greatest potential to protect nature. \nCincinnati Nature Center promotes Conservation Civics\, a relationship-based approach to protect our environment and conserve our natural resources. Using this approach\, we’ll discuss how to have conversations about conservation that foster understanding rather than polarization. By the end of the program\, you’ll create goals tailored to your unique skills and interests. Join us as we learn together\, grow our impact\, and make a real difference for the natural world. The journey begins on Earth Day 2026! \nPraise for The Ripple Effect course: \n“I have acquired new skills in which to find common ground with others who do not share my views on the environment. I am also more informed about national and local environmental organizations who have the knowledge and expertise to help me “move the needle forward.” \n“I entered this course with the intent to expand my knowledge of environmental issues and where I might help make a difference. I wanted to find my niche. I leave this course feeling more empowered. I feel more confident in my ability to speak on behalf of the environment to others without being preachy. I have more tools. This course has exceeded my expectations!” \n“I learned a lot more about how change can happen through my own interactions and actions.” \n“It gave me more tools and confidence to continue trying to make connections and changes in my community and to know that I do have a voice that matters. I also was reminded that we all need to work together as a whole to solve problems and I am not alone. It was very empowering!” \nAbout the Instructor: Connie O’Connor\, Director of Applied Learning at Cincinnati Nature Center\, has been helping people understand\, celebrate\, and protect nature for over 30 years. Her hallmark Ripple Effect course\, five years in the making\, offers an interactive learning experience that inspires connection\, optimism\, and action for nature. \nWhat to Expect: There will be about an hour of reading or watching course materials at home each week\, followed by five two-hour sessions in person at Rowe Woods. \nYou will need access to a computer or tablet to take this course.\nThis program is completely indoors and runs rain or shine.\nAccessibility:  We do our best to make our programs accessible to everyone when possible. If you have an accessibility question or need\, please feel free to reach out to our front desk staff at (513) 831-1711.\nWhere to Meet: Registered participants will meet in the Pine Room inside the Visitor Center at our Rowe Woods location. (4949 Tealtown Road\, Milford\, OH 45150) \nCost: $125 member; $135 nonmember.
