Eco Service Projects

Horizon, in partnership with Cincinnati Nature Center, is working on a project to restore native plants and biodiversity on our grounds. Horizon is seeking those passionate about improving our environment. Eco Service Projects are planned throughout the year to remove invasive plants on the Horizon grounds and plant native flowers and trees. 

An Eco Service Project is planned for Saturday, May 9th at 9:30 a.m.   Please meet in the Atrium when you arrive.  Join us to enjoy the first blooms of spring, spot early butterflies, and take part in our ongoing effort to improve and care for the campus.  Activities will include:

• Continuing the work in the Playscape by putting final touches on some new features.
• Embankment Slide installation
• Labeling and learning about the plants in our native garden beds 
• Brush cutting and invasive removal 

Everyone is welcome to join in these service dates, so bring the whole family! Children under 12 who would like to participate in a service project should be accompanied by a parent.

Tree and Wildflower Planting

Join Horizon on Thursday, April 30th to plant trees and wildflowers on our property! These efforts will improve habitat quality, support local wildlife, and beautify the church campus. This is a chance to meet others who attend Horizon, work closely together and get your hands in the soil to support native ecosystems, and be part of the season’s first wave of growth.

From 9-11 we will focus on brush clearing and ground prep for planting.  From 11-1 we will focus on planting native tree and native wildflowers.

This is a family‑friendly event - everyone is welcome! Children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Tools and gloves will be provided, but if you have your own favorites, feel free to bring those with you!
