The main reason this website was set up, is honor and remember Stanley Rowe and the people who founded Rowe Woods and the Cincinnati Nature Center. To chronicle the history of Rowe Woods from the beginning to present day. I just thought CNC website did not provide the in depth history for what has become a place where one can join with nature a woodland paradise near the city. Their main focus was to be a nature preserve for education.. The Audubon's main goal of  "to educate people in the ways that nature works and how they should be safeguarded." when Stanley and the others first set out on the mission.

My family lives next to Rowe Woods, and we have enjoyed walking Rowe Woods for many years. We have watched with enjoyment in some of the changes. The expansion that has taken place over the years and trail improvements. We’ve also been saddened by some of the changes in Rowe Woods. It is not quite the family place it once was when we moved here in 94. Many people who worked and did studies at CNC use to be neighbors. Now most are gone or retired, except a few who live near the lodge. It seems more focused on it's  image, less connected to it's neighbors. For some reason it had to be re-discovered by current management. I never thought it was lost. Times change and so do places, likely Stanley would be happy with Rowe Woods.. 

I’m a photographer and have taken many photos in Rowe Woods over the years. Rowe Woods Photographs are available here, and updated regularly, for your enjoyment and perhaps purchase.

This website is to honor the people past and present who have worked and live in or near Lob Woods. Now Rowe Woods and the Cincinnati Nature Center. North Union Township Ohio.
