Friends of Euclid Creek March Update

Hi Everyone,

We had a great 2022 Kick Off in February! We have several new interested persons on our email list and 10 new volunteers for a variety of activities. Most activities won't start until April or May and everyone should hear of opportunities then. (See attached picture of Conservation Chair, Esther Trepal, talking about the Dusty Goldenrod Preserve activities.)

"Lake Erie Algae, Research Efforts, Nutrient Loading, and Decision Making.”
Chris Winslow, PhD, The Ohio State University
