Park Closures
Observatory Park will be closed Nov. 23 and 24, Dec. 2, 3 and 21, and Jan. 4 and 5 due to controlled hunting.
Rangers and/or signs will be posted at the park entrance these days as a reminder.
Controlled hunting has been used since the 2007-08 season to maintain healthy, balanced populations of plants and animals on park district properties. Time has proven it a viable management tool and a proactive approach to the park district’s mission.
Visit the park district website or call for more information on holiday and snow-related park closures.
American Kestrel Nest Box Project
Nov. 30, 1-2 p.m.
Early in 2019, Naturalist Tami Gingrich kicked off an ambitious project that finished its first year with great success both for the residents of Geauga County and for a small bird of prey known as the American kestrel.
The project resulted in 11 new nesting boxes installed this past spring – two within Geauga Park District, seven on Amish farms and two at the site of local businesses.
Join Tami as she divulges the results of this project, discusses its successes and challenges and looks forward to its expansion in the future during a one-hour presentation at The West Woods Nature Center in Russell Township.
