OrganizerWildOnes Oak Openings Chapter

A vast wetland complex covering an area the size of Connecticut, slowing settlement, home to some of the most loathed creatures during the 1800s, and a source of both revenue and misery to the first pioneers to our area. What happened to the Great Black Swamp and what does it mean to us today? Enjoy an evening with Wood County Parks Senior Naturalist Bill Hoefflin as he shares some cultural and natural history about this formerly dominant land feature of northwest Ohio. Free and Open to the public.
