The Wasson Way Landscape Committee has been active this Fall with several volunteer groups doing a lot of gardening work along the trail.

Students from Thomas Moore University volunteered on the Wasson Way on October 11 for Saint Serve Day.  A group of 20+ students and staff worked to replace perennials and shrubs along the trial that didn’t survive the summer.  They also cleaned up all the trash along the trail from Marburg Ave to Madison Rd.

On October 22, a group of students from Xavier University spent the day cutting back annual flowers planted by the Cincinnati Master Gardeners this summer, to tidy up the flower beds for the Winter.

And don’t forget the group from MadTree Brewing who spent the day on October 8, planting new plants along the trail that will flower next Spring.  

All this work is supported by the Wasson Way non-profit organization with help from Young Entrepreneur Landscaping, Nate Record, Barrett Weckel and Derek.

Thanks to the whole Crew.

The Wasson Way continues to thrive because of strong support from some incredible volunteers. Thanks to these volunteers and generous private donations we will have some beautiful flowers, shrubs, and trees along the trail for years to come.

Please join us to open Phase 5 of Wasson Way from the Ault Park bridge down to Old Red Bank Road. On December 15th at 11 am Mayor Cranley will cut the ribbon on the Ault Park bridge. Enjoy free coffee courtesy of Coffee Emporium. Check out this video of the ribbon cutting from Fox19.

With the help of many donors and volunteers the Wasson Way nonprofit organization finalized a private effort to landscape the trail in the Oakley and Hyde Park areas. The 70 trees and 1200 flower bulbs are going to be beautiful next spring. We can’t wait !!! Thanks to everyone who participated.

Please join us on Wednesday, September 15 at 4:30 pm on the Wasson Way near Marburg Avenue. We will celebrate the opening of the Marburg to Ault Park section of the Wasson Way trail! Coffee Emporium is providing free beverages and Busken a special treat.

Thanks to all who came out to MadTree Brewery for a great meeting about landscaping the Wasson Way! Check out the presentation slides here.

Planning for the next phase of the Wason Way is underway!!! And it could be the best piece yet! The trail will cross Montgomery Road, go through the Xavier Campus, cross Dana near Listermanns Brewery, go through a 20 acre park like area, connect to Blair Park in Avondale and end near MLK and Reading Road. If you include the existing pathways through Xavier and extend the trail to Upper Millcrest Park in Norwood it adds 2.5 miles to the Wasson Way as part of the CROWN, the Cincinnati Riding Or Walking Network.
