Conservation and Land Management

Tree Shepherds Ohio/Mount Airy Forest Division, a member of Mount Airy Forest Advisory Committee (MAFAC: Cincinnati Parks Advisory Council or CPAC), will be working in close collaboration with Cincinnati Parks Conservation & Land Management Team on land restoration on the eastern half of Mt. Airy Forest Park. 

This area is bounded in the west by I-74, Colerain Avenue in the east, Shepherd Creek Road and West Fork Road in the north and south, respectively.

Friends of French Park (Cincinnati Parks Advisory Council or CPAC) is working closely with the Cincinnati Parks Conservation & Land Management Team on forest restoration. One of the first things that has been identified as a priority is trail clearance. This involves cutting back invasive plants such as honeysuckle, privet, and burning bush and treating the stumps. 

Join the members of Burnet Woods Advisory Council in habitat restoration efforts in Burnet Woods!

Habitat restoration events in Burnet Woods this fall will target honeysuckle resprouts, buckthorn, and hedge maple, using spray glyphosate when conditions permit, and will be well suited to deploying small teams of volunteers supported by Trained Service Persons to different areas of the park. If you are a TSP and are interested in supporting this work, we encourage you to sign up!   

Volunteers work to restore the health of the forest, invasive plant removal, planting natives.
