SUMMARY:Meet A Greenspace at Shawnee Lookout!
DESCRIPTION:Join Green Umbrella’s Greenspace Alliance and Great Parks for a Meet A Greenspace Hike on Friday\, January 23rd\, from 3-4:30 pm at Shawnee Lookout! \nOnce home to the indigenous peoples who lived in this region for 10\,000 years\, Shawnee Lookout has since been converted to a golf course and\, more recently\, a park. The landscape is quite hilly\, with over 9\,000 feet of streams that were once buried by culverts during its time as a manicured lawn. Today\, due to the efforts of Great Parks and The Nature Conservancy\, these streams are being restored to the surface through a process called “daylighting”. \nIf you’re interested in learning about local restoration projects or simply want to get outside this winter\, join us for 1 mile hike to learn about the work happening at this historic site! This will be a strenuous and most-likely muddy hike\, as the restoration work will be midway through completion. Please wear proper clothing\, sturdy shoes that can handle mud and snow\, and bring your own water and snacks. \nParking is available at the former clubhouse\, located at 2008 Lawrenceburg Road\, North Bend\, OH\, 45052. \nIf you have any questions\, contact Greenspace Alliance Manager Claire Carlson at claire@greenumbrella.org. \nThe Greenspace Alliance would also like to thank its sponsors\, Duke Energy and the Cincinnati Wildflower Preservation Society\, for making these events possible.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Regional Prioritization Plan (101)
DESCRIPTION:Join the Green Umbrella’s Greenspace Alliance on Wednesday\, September 10th from 1-2pm for a virtual training to learn about their Regional Prioritization Plan (RPP). \nThe RPP is a map informed by Greenspace Alliance partners and created by Senior Planner\, Margaret Minzner from OKI. It outlines the conservation and restoration concerns throughout the region. Conservation priorities include areas that are near already protected greenspace or could benefit from further protection. Restoration priorities include areas that could provide significant health and community benefits if protected. \nThe Greenspace Alliance is actively working with organizations and communities throughout the region to integrate the RPP into their long-term planning efforts. Regardless of whether they are simply identifying parcels of land to protect or are undertaking a comprehensive planning process\, the RPP can serve as a guide for conservation implementation regionally. \nIf you’re curious to learn more about how the RPP\, how it works\, and how it can support the work you are doing or seek to do\, join us for a short training session on its creation and use! \nA 25 Communities Project member event! \n____________________ \nFor more information and/or questions\, contact Greenspace Alliance Manager\, Claire Carlson\, at claire@greenumbrella.org.

SUMMARY:Comprehensive Planning 101
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how parcels of land become classified as commercial\, industrial\, residential\, or greenspace? Have you witnessed a property being developed or an unused area being transformed into a park and wondered why? \nAll of these land transformations are a part of a process called comprehensive planning\, a process which Dearborn County\, Indiana\, is actively going through! \nJoin Green Umbrella’s Greenspace Alliance on Wednesday\, July 2nd from 4:00 – 5:30 pm in the Depot Room at the Lawrenceburg Public Library to learn about what a comprehensive planning process is\, how it contributes to greenspace conservation\, and the work the Alliance is doing to expand awareness about it! \nThis training session will enable you to explore the world of comprehensive planning and equip you with a baseline understanding of the process. \nHear from the Dearborn County Plan Commission about their upcoming public meeting to update the comprehensive plan. Additionally\, learn how the Dearborn County Soil and Water Conservation District incorporates comprehensive planning into their conservation efforts.
