Our friend and colleague Greg Torres, Natural Resource Specialist for Cincy Parks west region, spent much of the past week walking the trails of Buttercup Valley, Parker Woods, and Badgley Run, clearing storm debris and checking for hazards along the way. Thanks, Greg!

On a recent foray into Buttercup Valley we found this rather impressive American hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana). Hophornbeams are in the Birch family (Betulaceae) and are generally a small understory tree in our eastern deciduous forests.

We’d like to thank those volunteers who joined us this past Saturday for our July forest restoration event. We searched for and removed invasive Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum) from the creek areas in Buttercup Valley. We went over ways to identify this plant, and how to tell it apart from native whitegrass (Leersia virginica) and other lookalikes. Our next forest restoration outing will be Saturday, September 19th in Parker Woods. More details here! https://www.northsidegreenspace.org/event-details/forest-restoration-5

*****UPDATE*****

The large, downed catalpa that was blocking the trail in Badgley Run has been cleared by Cincy Parks Conservation and Land Management staff! The trail is once again navigable.

We are aware of a large catalpa tree down over the trail in Badgley Run near the bridge in the middle of the preserve. The trail is currently impassable. Cincinnati Parks Department of Natural Resources is aware of it and it will be cleared as soon as the conservation team or tree crew can get to it.

Updated flyer!

We’re getting very excited for our Northside Native Gardens Walk on Sunday, June 14th from 12-2pm. We’ll walk a pre-planned route stopping at some wonderful examples of native plant landscaping. Our tour guides - and in some cases the resident gardeners themselves - will discuss the native plants that have been incorporated into these yards as well as answer any questions.

We’re also getting excited for our movie night on Tuesday, July 7th at the Northside Tavern in the back room. We’ll be screening “The Extraordinary Caterpillar”, a one hour documentary with some incredible footage of these wonderful creatures.

Both events are free but we do ask that you please RSVP so that we know how many people to expect and so that we may communicate any changes, should they arise. RSVP here: https://www.northsidegreenspace.org/upcoming-events
