Preserves Open for Hiking

In 2022 Cardinal Land Conservancy worked hard to preserve and restore four of our nature preserves so they could be opened to the public. These preserves across Southwest Ohio cover a variety of landscapes, rivers large and small, prairies, and hills. These nature spaces are now open to visit with parking lots and marked trails.

Oldest Farm in the City

One of the last working farms in the city limits of Cincinnati, Bahr Farm, was donated to Cardinal Land Conservancy by owners Dale and Carol Bahr. The Bahrs have grown crops and raised cattle there since 1972.

In 2021 the Bahrs retired from active farming and Cardinal’s staff have stepped in to tend to the crops and cattle as well as restoring a pond and barn while removing invasive species.
