Running along Hamilton Avenue in Cincinnati’s Northside neighborhood lies a forest that has been left undeveloped since pioneer days. This 25-acre forest, known as Buttercup Valley Nature Preserve, is home to numerous 100’ tall trees that are nearly 200 years old. Beneath these great beings lives an exquisite plant community of wildflowers. These flowers, collectively known as “Spring Ephemerals”, bloom briefly in the spring before going dormant again as they become shaded out in the summer and they require mature, undisturbed forests like Buttercup Valley to exist. Join Naturalist, Horticulturist, and former President of Northside Greenspace Inc., Greg Torres for a guided hike through this woods to learn more about this these unique flowers living in a very special forest.
