Updated: Jul 1, 2021

Oak Openings Nature Walks

Next up for our summer reading events: the Ohio Mammals Nature Walks for grades K-2 and 3-5! The walks will be through Oak Openings Preserve, focusing on learning more about the wild mammals living right here in Ohio!


Participants will register to come on the walk with a Metroparks Toledo representative and Amanda from SPL as chaperone. There are two days; grades K-2 will meet at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, June 15, and grades 3-5 will meet at 1:00 pm on Thursday, June 17. Space is limited for this one, so register at the link above as soon as you can!

Participants will meet at the Oak Openings Lodge at 5230 Wilkins Rd, Whitehouse OH 43571. Please make sure you're on time! The walks will be an hour long.



ECO Discovery! Cats


We'll also have Maureen from ECO Discovery! coming next week at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, June 16 for an all-ages program about cats! Everyone is invited to this program; no need to register for this one! Learn about cats, both pet and wild, and maybe even meet some!
