Great Parks of Hamilton County is one of 12 organizations to have received an Ohio EPA Environmental Education Fund grant for projects focused on helping Ohioans understand topics like habitat restoration. The grant supports ongoing nature education programming at Great Parks Nature Center at The Summit.
Great Parks has been able to continue reliable nature education programming through 2020–2021 thanks to a generous donation from the John A Schroth Family Charitable Trust, PNC Charitable Trust.
Great Parks’ nature education programming was significantly impacted during the pandemic, creating financial constraints and limiting staff and resources. Thanks to a grant from the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation Great Parks has been able to bridge learning gaps and support school curriculum content with virtual programming.
