Conservation Civics
Cincinnati Nature Center encourages people to connect to nature and to one another. We can better protect nature when we work together.
Read articles about local individuals who are making a difference, understand how decisions are made in your community, and explore opportunities to influence those decisions.
Cincinnati Nature Center encourages people to actively connect with one another for better communities and a heathier environment. Explore upcoming Cincinnati Nature Center-hosted courses and events below!
Conservation Civics is based on the idea that meaningful progress requires working in five arenas: Conscientious Choices, Connection to Others, Civil Discourse, Civic Engagement, and Collective Action.

Connection to Others
Tap into our shared human psychology to build empathy and negativity. The more we understand human behavior, including our own, the less self-righteousness we will be.
Conscientious Choices
Develop a more nuanced understanding about how lifestyle and consumer choices can impact the environment for better or worse.
Collective Action
Learn to tackle big problems by working together or through donations to nonprofit advocacy groups that hire experts to act on our behalf.
Civil Discourse
Have better, conflict-free conversations that build understanding and advance better solutions. The more we emphasize common ground, the more likely we are to find win-win solutions.
Civic Engagement
Explore ways to protect land by engaging in local public decisions that impact your community the most
The Ripple newsletter is a bi-monthly electronic compilation of thought-provoking articles, podcasts, websites, videos, and invitations to inspire action and advocacy.
