Each season, Geauga Park District’s fine naturalists take a fine-toothed comb to their programs and highlight those that they consider Nature’s Not to Be Missed; that is, opportunities to experience nature in a way that happens only during this particular time of year, and is something especially worth your time to come out and see.
