Cincinnati Nature Center is a nature center and preserve with two locations, the main site known as Rowe Woods in Milford, Ohio, and Long Branch Farm in Goshen, Ohio.

The Schott Nature PlayScape was designed to encourage open-ended creative play through the use of natural features on the 1.6-acre site, including water, logs, rocks and dirt. The creation of the PlayScape was inspired by Richard Louv's book Last Child in the Woods that concludes that direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development.

Cincinnati Nature Center

The 1918 Groesbeck Lodge is planned to be home to the new Center for Conservation & Stewardship, which will become a regional center for excellence in land conservation.
