Aullwood’s Legacy
Marie S. Aull gave Aullwood to the Miami Valley
and the National Audubon Society in 1957. It was
her dream to create a beautiful wildlife sanctuary and
one of the Midwest’s first nature centers. In 1962
she gave neighboring land to create one of the first
educational farms in the country.
Today, Aullwood is a 200-acre sanctuary with six miles
of trails winding through prairie, forests, marsh, ponds
and meadows. Remember, Aullwood field trips and special
outreach programs fulfill Ohio's New Learning Standards.
Aullwood’s hands-on activities inspire, teach and involve!
children and adults
through education,
research and
recreation.
Whenever possible, teachers and group leaders are
encouraged to visit Aullwood before bringing children.
Please contact Aullwood’s Office Manager at

self-guided visits to other areas at Aullwood.
Self-guided groups must be respectful of
other groups to maintain the high quality of
experiences for everyone. This activity must be
