The Blue Creek Nursery, established by Metroparks Toledo in 2004, produces locally sourced seed and other plant materials and has the capacity to restore or enhance approximately 200 acres per year. Tour the nursery to get a closer look at the processes involved in supporting restoration initiatives throughout the Metroparks and the Oak Openings Region. Then visit the new Cannonball Prairie Metropark with a naturalist to see a natural area recently restored from farm field to native prairie utilizing seed from the nursery.
