Last Sunday as part of #GreatOutdoorWeekend, the Cincinnati Wildflower Preservation Society hosted a #NatureWalk up Howard's Creek at the UCCFS! With water in the creek bed, everyone got a chance to not only see some fun plants, but lots of aquatic wildlife as well.
Last Saturday at Great Outdoor Weekend, Dr. Conover lead a fantastic botany walk through the UCCFS grounds and Miami Whitewater Forest. Here he shows off a passion vine, complete with fruit!
