Scientific Research

Scientific ResearchCincinnati Nature Center wishes to encourage scientific research on its properties to study the impact of human activities on the mixed mesophytic forest of southwest Ohio. CNC has a unique setting for this research, with its property situated in the middle of a gradient from highly urbanized in downtown Cincinnati to the west to the highly natural areas in the counties to the east.

CNC is interested in facilitating research on its properties to:

  • Increase knowledge about ecosystem ecology and natural history of this region’s indigenous habitats
  • Inform CNC and the surrounding region about effective ecological restoration techniques
  • Inform CNC about effective management of native and non-native habitats for biodiversity
  • Inform CNC about the impact and management of native and non-native invasive species
  • Engage high school and college students in field study and/or research
  • Encourage “citizen science” efforts to foster stewardship
  • Help citizens better understand their impact on the natural world
