Located five minutes from downtown, the Earth Center is Cincinnati's premiere urban nature preserve. The Earth Center provides teachers and scout leaders with a variety of hands-on, quality programs to enhance your curriculum. Families can come to the Earth Center for our public programs, special events and summer camps. The 16 acres are also open to the general public for hiking and nature exploration.

History of the Imago Earth Center
The Imago Earth Center started with a vision. The vision was that of an urban nature preserve, easily accessible to the people who needed it the most, the people who live in the city. This nature preserve would be a vital asset to a community of environmentally caring citizens. This nature preserve would provide opportunities for people to connect with and learn about the wonders of the natural world. In 1994, an opportunity arose to protect an 8 acre parcel of forest and field in the middle of Price Hill, 5 minutes from downtown Cincinnati, and the vision started to fulfill itself. Imago led the campaign to protect the preserve and thus create the Imago Earth Center. In our short history, we have been able to accomplish a great deal. Each year 10,000 people participate in our environmental education programs. We have created a system of hiking trails that are free and open to the public. And we are restoring the preserve, working with nature to create healthy, diverse, native ecosystems.

Mission
Our mission is to foster in the residents of Greater Cincinnati, and in particular her urban youth, awareness and appreciation of the natural world. We do this by providing quality, hands-on experiences designed to create a lasting impact.
