Valley View Nature Preserve

Valley View is a grassroots, nonprofit organization with a simple mission- Conserving Land, Preserving History and Sharing it with the Community. In 2002, it was all but a foregone conclusion that what was then 190-acres of farmland would be bulldozed for development. Valley View was created and changed the outcome. We have transformed from a grassroots organization started in a Milford living room into the responsible stewards of 190 acres of beautiful open land along the East Fork River with a rich history dating back 12,000 years. 

Valley View’s plant rescue garden is a simple story of volunteers planting, growing and donating fresh food…with a twist. Similar to food rescue efforts to reduce waste, we rescue thousands of unsold plants at local nurseries that are otherwise destined for the dumpster. We fill our garden and help provide healthy, fresh food to those in need throughout greater Cincinnati.
