The varieties of habitats formed by the geology of the Oak Openings are home to many rare plants and animals.  Providing students with a local context for what they learn in class helps them develop a sense of pride in their home and recognition for its necessary protection.  Its proximity to metro Toledo makes the Oak Openings readily accessible.
