Conservation and Land Management

Mount Airy West Conservation (MAWC), a member of Mount Airy Forest Advisory Committee (MAFAC: Cincinnati Parks Advisory Council or CPAC), is working closely with Cincinnati Parks Conservation & Land Management Team on forest restoration on the western half of Mt. Airy Forest.  

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. 

We are looking for a few dedicated adult volunteers who are interested in supporting these St. X volunteer days. Responsibilities will include learning our process for invasive species removal as well as providing general support to the event leader on these volunteer days. Interested volunteers can also work towards getting their TSP ("Trained Service Person") certification, which will allow them to assist with applying herbicide

Work with Parks Staff and members of the Alms Park Advisory Council (Alms Park Allies) in their efforts to improve the overall health of the park and support maintenance efforts. Projects will often include invasive species mitigation efforts as well as beautification efforts and grounds maintenance tasks.

Come join us for some work on the trails at Mt. Airy! Should be perfect weather for it and 'tis the season for trail building so let's get some good stuff done!
