Here's our working title and program description:

Program: “Conservation Stories of Western Cuyahoga Audubon”
Presenters: WCAS Members, Affiliates, and Friends
Date: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 at 7:30 PM
Location: Rocky River Nature Center, 24000 Valley Pkwy, North Olmsted, OH 44070 Map

Description: Western Cuyahoga Audubon has played an active role in Cleveland habitat conservation from reclaiming the city's Donald Gray Gardens, a gem of the 1936 and 1937 World Fair, to pioneering the formation of the Rocky River Important Bird Area. Join us for a multimedia retrospect of chapter conservation projects that created some of northeast Ohio's iconic landscapes, often starting with the small actions of one or two people. Today, these properties constitute some of the region’s most iconic birding and hiking landscapes in Northeast Ohio.
