Western Wildlife Corridor

Find Your Wild Place

Where is the Western Wildlife Corridor Located?

The Western Wildlife Corridor is a nonprofit land trust working to protect forests and wildlife habitat along the Ohio River Valley west of Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1992, the organization preserves natural areas, restores native ecosystems, and works with volunteers and landowners to create a connected network of protected lands stretching from Mill Creek to the Indiana border

The corridor includes over 14 nature preserves and protected lands in communities including East Price Hill, Riverside, Sedamsville, Sayler Park, Delhi Township, and Miami Township, extending toward the Indiana border. Some of our preserves are private property, but most are open for you to explore!
