    Ohio Real Title Vibrant Places Hike: Waterfowl at Grand Valley Ranch

    Some say the American Robin is the harbinger of spring, but the swans, ducks, geese, and shorebirds might disagree. The Land Conservancy has partnered with the Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland to host a morning of birding just as waterfowl are making their strongest push north through Ohio and shorebirds are beginning to pass our way. If conditions are right, we could see up to 29 species of waterfowl, including three swans.

    The Land Conservancy’s Grand Valley Ranch protects 1,200 acres of ideal habitat for waterfowl and various waterbirds. Permanently conserved in 2015, the Land Conservancy has restored the site from historical high impact uses (agriculture, mining, aquaculture, etc) to a natural, 3-mile long, flow-through wetland complex. Utilizing funds from Clean Ohio, USFWS, and the Ohio EPA, $3.5M was invested in the property to restore this ancient Tamarack Swamp!

    Advanced registration is required.

    Zoom into Nature: Ohio's Mushrooms

    Join the Western Reserve Land Conservancy for an evening with Ian Adams as he presents his virtual program Fungus Among Us. Ohio is home to more than 2,000 different kinds of wild mushrooms.

    Many are inedible, but a few are delicious. Some mushrooms are toxic, and a small number are deadly poisonous. Mushrooms are fungi, which play an important role in many of the foods we eat, the beverages we drink, and the drugs used to treat many illnesses and injuries. Fungi are also an indispensable part of the soil, and many of them make beautiful subjects for close up photography. In this program, illustrated with dozens of color photos, Ian introduces us to the fascinating world of Ohio’s mushrooms.

    Advanced registration is required.

    Cleveland Water Open House

    Get a behind-the-scenes look at how water from Lake Erie is made clean and safe to drink before being delivered to your home.

    Join us as we celebrate Drinking Water Week with free, guided tours of our Nottingham Water Treatment Plant. See first-hand everything that goes into making water from Lake Erie clean and safe to drink. From pumping lake water through a miles-long tunnel to filtering, disinfection, and testing, all while utilizing state-of-the-art technology to monitor everything. We’ll also have water-related experiments, demonstrations, and exhibits for the whole family.

    To make sure everyone gets the most out of the experience, the number of tour spots available will be limited. Tours will be 45-60 minutes long and leave every 10-15 minutes, starting at 10 a.m. and ending at 3 p.m. When you register, you'll have to pick an hour time slot. During that hour, you can join 1 of 4 opportunities for a tour, on the hour and 15, 30, and 45 minutes past the hour. Each tour is limited to 25 people.

    For example, if you register for the 10 a.m. time slot, you can take a tour at 10, 10:15, 10:30, or 10:45, depending on when you and the others who registered for the same time slot arrive. This will ensure that wait time is minimal and all guests get a thorough tour.

    You're welcome to arrive before or stay after your tour time to enjoy the other activities available from our team and partner organizations like Cleveland Metroparks, Great Lakes Science Center, and the Cleveland Cavs. We'll also have several food trucks on site.

    Please keep in mind that Nottingham, like all of our water treatment plants, operates 24/7/365. Some areas may be very noisy during the tour and certain restrictions will be in place for the safety and security of visitors and employees. Tours involve considerable walking and standing. If you have any accessibility needs, please let us know in advance and we'll be happy to make accommodations.
