Description
Join a National Park Ranger and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources staff for a interpretive hike and invasive species workday!
Hike in the Sheldon Marsh, a state nature preserve and one of the last remaining undeveloped stretches of shoreline in the Sandusky Bay region.
Experience the variety of natural habitats that comprise the lake-marsh-forest ecosystem, which once encompassed thousands of acres along Lake Erie's western basin.
Work along side friends or family to help remove the invasive European Frog-bit which threatens our wetlands by threatening native fish and plants.
