The Stowe Park Advisory Council launched efforts in 2025 to support the gardens and grounds of the Harriet Beecher Stowe House. Plans include improving gardens by removing invasive species, planting natives and installing educational signage. The CPAC is working in collaboration with the Harriet Beecher Stowe House leadership. 

Mount Airy West Conservation (MAWC), a member of Mount Airy Forest Advisory Committee (MAFAC: Cincinnati Parks Advisory Council or CPAC), is working closely with Cincinnati Parks Conservation & Land Management Team on forest restoration on the western half of Mt. Airy Forest.  

FOCUS: We will be tackling different invasive plants depending upon the season. This may include: - Breaking down honeysuckle with loppers and handsaws* - Cutting out small sections of vines on trees with handsaws* - Removing and bagging garlic mustard or Japanese stiltgrass. *Trained Service People (TSP) will apply herbicide to cut stumps.

Help The Friends of Scarborough Woods in their efforts to remove invasive plants from this small preserve tucked away in a residential area. 

Residents have been volunteering their time and resources to remove honeysuckle, lesser celandine, garlic mustard and various invasive vines. They are restoring this area by planting native trees and seeds.
