From Ohio History Connection: “Cedar Bog Nature Preserve was the first nature preserve in Ohio purchased with state money and is considered by many to be Ohio’s premiere natural area. Cedar Bog is a National Natural Landmark, one of only twenty-five in the state of Ohio - recognized for its national significance. It ranks the highest of any site among all others in the state on the Ohio Floristic Diversity Index for its great diversity of plants.”
 
Join us for a guided tour of this special place! Madison Brown, the preserve manager, will be our guide. One of the highlights of our trip will be the spectacular showy lady’s slipper orchid, which should be at or nearing peak bloom.
 
This will be an easy walk on the nearly 1-mile long boardwalk that loops through the site. Be sure to bring your binoculars and field guides. Insect repellent recommended as needed.
 
For those who cannot join us for this guided hike, Cedar Bog has a public orchid walk scheduled on Saturday, June 8 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Admission fee is same as above. See here for details: https://www.cedarbognp.org/event/orchid-walk/
