FAQ
What is the cost for my school to come on a field trip?
All Greenacres field trips are provided at no cost to the school. Many schools are also eligible to have the cost of busing reimbursed as well.
How is it possible to offer free field trips?
Louise and Louis Nippert’s generosity have provided us with the funding to operate Greenacres in the manner that they envisioned when they founded Greenacres.
Do field trips happen in the winter?
Yes! We offer field trips throughout the school year. Impactful experiences can occur in cold weather, and we tailor each experience for the comfort of our guests.
Can we come explore on our own?
No, Greenacres can only be visited when you are part of a field trip or public event. We are not a public park.
How many acres does Greenacres manage in Indian Hill?
Greenacres has over 600 acres in Indian Hill.
Why does the forest here not look like other local woodlots?
We have worked hard to remove invasive species such as honeysuckle and multi-flora rose. These invasive plants are very common in Southern Ohio, and have changed the way forests look. Because invasives are so common, many people have forgotten what a forest “should” look like. Our forests are a work in progress, but the more open understory is the natural condition of temperate hardwood forests.
How can I get involved?
Greenacres has limited volunteer opportunities. See volunteer opportunities
