Hello Watershed Volunteers,
Have you seen the news? Cleveland Metroparks was awarded the 2021 National Gold Medal “Best in Nation” Award for Excellence in Parks and Recreation Management. Thank you for your contributions to this award and the everyday positive impacts from your care of Northeast Ohio woods, wetlands, and water.
See you soon at an upcoming event to learn, monitor, and restore our great Lake Erie watershed. Thank you for being the best watersheds stewards in NEO!
Thanks,
Lisa Meranti
