Join us for a (nearly) halfway-to-Earth-Day hike at the rarely visited Wendtwood Preserve in Lorain County. We’ll enjoy the fall colors as we explore acres of mature forest and walk along the middle reaches of the Rocky River. 

This preserve boasts large expanses of high-quality wetlands, including vernal pools, and several headwater streams that feed into the Rocky River. About 160 acres of mature forest cover most of the rest of the preserve. Sixty-seven different species of birds nest at Wendtwood. The preserve is also home to several rare and endangered species, including the four-toed salamander.
