Following the presentation, participants will visit this site, located in Veterans Legacy Woods, 14085 Ravenna Road, Newbury Township, Ohio, for a guided hike from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Attendees should expect hilly terrain and a moderate level of physical activity.
No registration is required. The program is held in cooperation with he Native Plant Society of Northeastern Ohio. Those who attend the presentation do not need to participate in the hike.
