As we step into 2025, we’re reflecting on an incredible year of progress and impact at Mill Creek Alliance. In 2024, our team worked tirelessly to restore, educate, and inspire through our Restoration, Education, Recreation, and Water Quality Monitoring Program. Our Water Quality Monitoring program safeguards Mill Creek's progress. Our Environmental Education program inspires the next generation of stewards for the creek and its interconnected watershed. Our Recreation program brings a long-missing species back to Mill Creek: people! From paddling and birding to biking, hiking, and fishing, the creek is becoming a vibrant community resource once again. Our Restoration program is steadily repairing and naturalizing the stream and its floodplains. We’re grateful for our passionate team, dedicated volunteers, and amazing partners who made all of this possible. Together, we’ve achieved so much—and the best is yet to come! Here’s to another fantastic year ahead of making a difference for our community and the environment. #NewYear #MillCreekAlliance #Restoration #Conservation #CommunityImpact #Restoration #CleanWater #Watersheds #Community #Students #Cincinnati #Ohio #GreaterCincinnati

Collaborating with the Urban Appalachian Community Coalition has been utterly fruitful through the past couple of years of working together on creating more STEAM initiatives in the Mill Creek Watershed. Most recently, MCA had the opportunity to join UACC on one of their education professional development retreats and I wanted to take a moment to share the story: UACC Teams Up with Collaborators to Create "The Story of Flow Eco Arts Escape" to Celebrate Home Places:?Area teachers and nonprofit leaders gathered on the morning of June 25th for The Story of Flow--An Eco-Arts Escape for Educators. Held at the Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum and co-sponsored by UACC, Originary Arts Initiative, and the Cincinnati Art Museum, this half-day writing and art retreat introduced a creative spin on the themes of migration and home connections. UACC Core member/writer Sherry Cook Stanforth teamed up with visual artist Jody Knoop and Place Keepers apprentices Rachel Kazee and Jaden (Froggie) Leman to bring unique experience to attendees that included a "Postcards from Home" and "Dear Body of Water" project, a memory-inspired nonette writing activity, an urban block eco-tour, and a food foragers tasting table that included honey and white clover cookies, blackberry peach cobbler, apple fritters, and stinging nettle tea. For the final project, attendees joined a Nine Patch quilting circle that featured personal word-images designs and then engaged in a Nine Patch community quilt sharing session. Stanforth and Knoop (who are part of Tangled Roots band) also performed a centuries-old Scots origin tune in order to set the journey and connection theme.? This creative day brimmed with high energy sharing and personal reflection. Program developer Sherry Cook Stanforth hopes to create regular events that?emphasize "authentic communication" and "lifelong curiosity for the stories carried by our neighbors," saying "This was a moment in time where people truly listened and shared with curiosity and respect for each others' presence in the Greater Cincinnati community. I left feeling woven into something very powerful, realizing that what people can make together through honest?storytelling is downright sacred."? Some of the comments offered by attendees included: "...people need connection like this on so many levels," "loved the workshop and getting to know other community members in creative ways and celebrating Appalachia," and "amazingly good vibes." Cincinnati Art Museum's?Associate Director of School-Based Learning Sam Gaier also joined the festivities, distributing take-home art supplies and resources to every attendee. This community-building experience promotes a dynamic portrait of Appalachian heritage held by UACC's mission to cultivate meaningful, creative story-sharing and story-listening experiences inspired by our home place values.

Happy trails! Interest in the Mill Creek trail systems, both “blue” (water) and “green” (land) is growing to a critical mass. All around the watershed, bike trail installation is on the rise. The Crown, Cincinnati’s 34-mile urban trail loop, is on the cusp of connecting communities along the Mill Creek Greenway Trail from Northside to the Ohio River along with connecting it to the Triangle Trail in Sharonville, Ohio, connecting Glenwood Gardens, Sharon Woods, and Winton Woods together through an intricate network of pathways! #getoutside #bike #paddle #thingstodoincincinnati
