Conservation at Work: Wetland Restoration

Metroparks Toledo is the conservation leader in Ohio–preserving, conserving, and restoring over 12,000 acres of natural areas. Join us in a journey to explore the conservation initiatives in progress in your Metroparks.

Wetlands play a key role in naturally cleaning water that runs off from roads and other developed areas, and improving the water quality of our precious Maumee River and Lake Erie. Metroparks Toledo is restoring almost 50 acres of wetlands in an H2Ohio-funded restoration project at Oak Openings Preserve Metropark. Enjoy a behind-the-scenes hiking tour of this restoration site and learn how the soil movements and other features will help increase water quality and wildlife habitat. Once spring arrives this wetland will be inaccessible, so take advantage of this limited-time opportunity to see how a wetland is restored!
