The Cincinnati Wildflower Preservation Society (CWFPS)
The purpose of this society is the preservation of wildflowers through education, promoting awareness, and habitat preservation. There are seven monthly lecture programs each year from September through March, with guest speakers that are experts in their field. Topics range from wildflowers of this general area, to those of specialized areas, either near or far away, reviews of particular plant families worldwide, geology as related to plant distributions, and occasionally to the birds, bees, and butterflies that visit flowers and without which some of the species might perish. There are also field trips annually. CWFPS is not a garden club although some members are avid wildflower gardeners. Field trips provide opportunities to observe how wildflowers grow and this experience has enabled gardeners to succeed with some of the more demanding and even delicate plants. For more information, contact Victor G. Soukup at 761-2568 or by e-mail: soukupvg@email.uc.edu.

Citizens Land Conservancy-Citizens' Land Conservancy of Hamilton County, Ohio, Inc. (CLC) -- a nonprofit land trust -- is dedicated to helping families to preserve their land. CLC informs the public about how land conservation protects the quality of life in Hamilton County. Member-supported CLC was founded in 1999 in response to development pressures that have led to the loss of precious lands and farms across Hamilton County. Without active efforts to preserve and protect our natural heritage, these lands will be lost, if not to us, most certainly to our children. CLC is reaching out to landowners to explain the variety of ways available to preserve their land. And, CLC seeks gifts of land to preserve in its natural state. In the future, CLC plans to purchase land to protect.
