Preserving 37 acres of urban greenspace, free and open to all.

Imago protects 37 acres, only 3 miles from downtown Cincinnati. Our belief is that nature should be a part of everyone’s lives. Our free nature preserve is a reflection of that commitment to make nature accessible to everyone. An easy walk, bike ride, bus ride, or car ride will get you here.

Protecting nature is also our commitment to our non-human neighbors. By protecting urban nature for wild plants and animals we are investing in a future that is not only good for the environment, but also for ourselves and our communities.

History
Imago started preserving urban greenspace in 1988 with a 7 acre parcel that was slated for development, at the end of Enright Avenue in the Price Hill neighborhood. Since that time we’ve been identifying and preserving parcels of undeveloped land. We’ve protected land with small acquisitions ever since then. Our latest acquisition came in 2013, at one acre, it brought us to our current total of 37 acres.

Each one of our acquisitions has been a collaborative effort with several partners, donors and supporters. Our nature preserve is not only for the community, but has also been made BY the community.
