UC Clermont Holds Woodland Trail Ribbon Cutting
UC Clermont College held a ribbon cutting to mark the opening of the Woodland Trail located on campus. The Woodland Trail completes Phase 1 of the new trail system on campus. The plan is to build four trails on the 92-acre campus that is rich with natural areas including a watershed area, streams and wetlands.
Funding for the Woodland Trail was provided by Interact for Health with a $50,000 grant. Other funding sources include: Humana Foundation, American Modern Insurance and Duke Energy.
The Woodland Trail serves to connect students, faculty, staff and visitors to the natural resources on our park-like campus. We would like to thank Interact for Health for making this investment in our campus. Weve already received positive feedback from our community sharing how much they enjoy the new trail, said Dean Jeff Bauer.
The trail also offers the college an opportunity to identify and mark key trees plants along the Woodland Trail and creates a safe walking link between west parking lot, entry road and south lot area. An additional benefit is connecting the college with the neighboring Southwest Ohio Development Center (SODC) linking the trail to SODCs half-mile paved wooded trail.
Future phases of the Trail System include:
Trail to access the East edge features that include waterfall area, watershed stream and remote edge forest features.
Trail to access the west side open forest space and watershed stream.
Trail to connect walkers/hikers with wetlands space.
Signage to identify plant and functional components of the wetlands area.
UC Clermont College is located in the center of Clermont County on 91 beautiful wooded acres in Batavia Township. The college is an accredited, open-access college offering more than 50 programs, associate degrees and a bachelor degree. UC East, a Clermont County expansion in the former Ford plant in Batavia Township, opened in the fall of 2010. It is home to UC Clermont's Allied Health programs. The college is part of the nationally recognized University of Cincinnati. For more information, call 513-732-5200 or visit www.ucclermont.edu
