The Trees in Our Forest

Becky Donaldson, Neighbor

Let's get into the shade of the woods and explore the upland forest and shrub ecosystem surrounding the Marsh. We'll work on identification as well as discuss forest diversity and trends on this informational hike.

Mentor Marsh is an interpretive nature preserve of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History(CMNH) and the State of Ohio (ODNR) Division of Natural Areas and Preserves. Trails are open daily, year-round, dawn to dusk. From April through October, Mentor Marsh Nature Center is open from noon to 5 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Hikes are free with registration at rdonalds@cmnh.org or (440) 257-0777.
