Watershed Stories: Meet the Area Managers |
|
Cleveland Metroparks spans over 24,000 acres across 18 different reservations within Northeast Ohio. Each reservation is maintained by a Natural Resources Area Manager that develops a comprehensive management plan to best conserve natural resources. Elements of a management plan may include installing a deer exclosure, removing invasive vegetation such as buckthorn, or planting trees to increase biodiversity. Throughout the year, WVP works with the area managers to help meet elements of each of their management plans. Meet the incredible team behind protecting and managing Cleveland Metroparks’ most valuable natural resources. |
