Western Wildlife Corridor (Dates Vary)


WESTERN WILDLIFE CORRIDOR
LEADERS: TBA
LOCATION: Various greenspaces managed by WWC
NEXT DATES: 2025-2026 DATES COMING SOON

ABOUT
Since 1992, Western Wildlife Corridor has been focused on protecting natural greenspace in and near the Ohio River valley between Cincinnati  and the Indiana border to the west. We do this for a lot of reasons; to protect and preserve habitat for local flora and fauna, to provide opportunities for people to access nature, and to offset and balance the environmental impacts and effects of development around us.  WWC now protects over 400 acres of natural habitat.  Volunteers are needed to build and maintain trails, remove invasive species, and other fun outdoor wildlife restoration projects.

Elder grad Mr. Rich Mack ’87 is looking for some volunteers for a great Christmas project. For the past 5 years, Mr. Mack hosts a Toy Drive for the kids who are served by Child Focus, a terrific non-profit organization in Cincinnati.  Mr. Mack passes out fliers with drive information to four different neighborhoods asking for toy donations. The toys are then collected and presented to Child Focus.

He needs 12 hard-working Elder men to help distribute the flyers door-to-door.   Volunteers will meet at 3943 Durango Green Drive where you will be assigned neighborhoods and receive basic instructions.  Adult volunteers will also be present to assist with transportation if needed.

Here are the neighborhoods where the collections are taking place:

  • Pickway/Buckridge combined neighborhood (off South Road)
