Preserving the land we love
Cardinal Land Conservancy’s mission is to preserve natural habitats, waterways, agricultural lands and open space we love in our tri-state region. We protect many types of land, from pristine forests to productive farmland and community-driven greenspaces. Sustaining the land which sustains our communities is Cardinal Land Conservancy’s way of maintaining and adding to the legacy of our region.
Cardinal Land Conservancy is working to actively create a sustainable, healthier, and more connected future for all. Every acre of farmland, native habitat, and community greenspace protected in perpetuity helps create a more resilient future for generations to come.

In addition to our natural areas, Cardinal manages three Conservation Hubs. Each hub combines preserved natural spaces with office facilities and collaborative partnerships, creating vibrant centers for conservation action and community engagement.

Bahr Farm has been farmed consistently since 1804, and is one of the last working farms in Cincinnati city limits. The farm provides opportunities for community and partners to experience a local, pollinator-friendly pasture location and a small herd of cattle. Through a partnership with Our Harvest, we also work to contribute local produce to the community.

This 89-acre nature preserve includes hiking trails and woodlands, meadows and ponds. It also is the headquarters for Cardinal Land Conservancy, with office space for our team. Future plans include facilities renovations to provide community spaces.

Our newest location includes 8.7 acres of greenspace, offices, and a warehouse in the CUF neighborhood of Cincinnati. This expansion has allowed us to grow our Community Conservation initiative, working to protect natural spaces in the city.
