June 5, 2021: Take a Hike at Johnson Hills!
Come Take a Hike with the Anderson Foundation for Parks & Recreation! We will start in the outdoor classroom to learn from our guest speakers about the impact of non-native plants to our environment. Drew Goebel of Cincinnati Parks will discuss broadly how biodiversity is impacted by invasive plant species and Ken Kushner, Director of Anderson Parks will describe our efforts to replace invasive species with native plants. Following this short discussion, we will take a hike with Drew, where he will point out the important native plants and invading species that make up our own Johnson Hills forest.
