A New Era for Nature: Celebrate the Valley View Shelter Ribbon Cutting!

Valley View Nature Preserve is proud to announce the ribbon cutting of its brand-new outdoor shelter — a stunning, sustainable addition that deepens our community’s connection to nature.

Years in the making, this thoughtfully designed space will serve as a welcoming hub for outdoor education, community events, and everyday enjoyment of the Preserve’s natural beauty.

In partnership with the Cincinnati Living Building Challenge Collaborative and RWA Architects, Valley View created a shelter that is both ambitious and environmentally responsible — a model of sustainable design that perfectly complements the landscape. Funding was made possible through a Capital Improvement Grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and generous community contributions.

This new addition will provide:
🌿 A gathering place for school groups, visitors, and community events
🌿 A hands-on outdoor classroom for environmental education
🌿 Shelter from the elements while maintaining harmony with nature
🌿 A beautiful example of sustainable, non-intrusive design

Join us as we celebrate this exciting milestone for Valley View and our community!

Please note: The event will take place outdoors. Dress casually and be prepared for the weather — or even a short hike!
