Get Outdoors
Adventure & Beauty in Our
Backyard
The tri-state region of Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio is home to some of the most beautiful, tranquil, and dazzling natural areas in the Midwest. Green Umbrella is committed to the health, accessibility, and preservation of our region’s natural spaces.

Great Outdoor Weekend
We’ve partnered with parks departments, farms, and organizations that host outdoor programming to feature free, outdoor activities every weekend. Green Umbrella members can submit events to be included in monthly Great Outdoor Weekend newsletters through our member portal.
Greenspace Gems
Greenspace Gems recognizes and celebrates natural areas in the Green Umbrella region with outstanding scenic value, biological diversity, scientific importance, or historic interest. These places represent the geographic spread of Green Umbrella's 10-county region while showcasing a diversity of interesting features: from geology to biodiversity to plant communities to history.
Regional Greenspace Alliance
Our region is home to a wide variety of greenspace — such as forests, parks, and heritage farmland — that benefit public health, boost our economy, perform important natural functions, and improve our individual and collective quality of life. Green Umbrella's Greenspace Alliance brings together committed stakeholders to conserve and expand the region’s natural places, support biodiversity and connect people to the land.
