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’ 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.

Join us on our Facebook page Mondays through Fridays at 10 a.m. for a live video with Great Parks staff! Today, nature interpreter Tom asks what you want to see in his next program.
