Western Wildlife Corridor's mission
is to protect the scenic beauty and natural resources of
the Ohio River Valley through direct land protection and
through the promotion of responsible land use. Green space
enhances the quality of life for people in the community
by helping to remove pollutants from the air and water as
well as increasing property values of land near green belts.
To fulfill our mission, WWC
has worked since 1992 to preserve and restore the greenway
corridor of wooded hillsides along the Ohio River from the
Mill Creek near downtown Cincinnati to the Great Miami River
bordering Indiana. Specifically, WWC efforts focus
on:
•Increasing public awareness of the efforts of land
trusts and the importance of preserving land and restoring
native habitat
•Protecting land through conservation
easements, donations or purchase
•Providing protected green space for
endangered plants and wildlife
•Advocating ecologically-friendly development
that preserves the environmental integrity of the area
•Working with local government to preserve
land
•Safeguarding the special places that
people value.
