NATURAL PORTSMOUTH
A PARTNERSHIP EVENT SERIES
Natural Portsmouth is a series of events connecting people to nature and the surrounding environment in Downtown Portsmouth.
​
Portsmouth is fortunate to be immersed in nature at the confluence of the Scioto and Ohio Rivers. The rich Urban Forest and abundance of public parks and gardens presents a unique opportunity to explore our relationship with the land, plants, and animals with which we share our home.
​
Natural Portsmouth is an admission free event open to the public.
