WESTERN WILDLIFE CORRIDOR
LEADERS: Lincoln Edwards ’27 & Brecken Born ’27
LOCATION: Various greenspaces managed by WWC
NEXT DATES: Sat, Apr 19
ABOUT
Since 1992, Western Wildlife Corridor has been focused on protecting natural greenspace in and near the Ohio River valley between Cincinnati and the Indiana border to the west. We do this for a lot of reasons; to protect and preserve habitat for local flora and fauna, to provide opportunities for people to access nature, and to offset and balance the environmental impacts and effects of development around us. WWC now protects over 400 acres of natural habitat. Volunteers are needed to build and maintain trails, remove invasive species, and other fun outdoor wildlife restoration projects.
