We will get wet as we hike down the middle of West Creek heading south from the Watershed Stewardship Center. West Creek Conservancy in partnership with Cleveland Metroparks has worked hard to protect\, restore\, and connect riparian green spaces\, one parcel at a time\, to create West Creek Reservation. \nThe hike will highlight how humans have altered the stream valley through urban growth. Participants will observe the stream in action\, as we compare a section of more natural stream valley to a highly altered section of stream valley. It will be over moderate to rough terrain (rocky riverbeds) so a walking stick and waterproof rubber knee-high boots\, or sturdy tennis shoes that can get wet\, are recommended. Along the hike we will talk about problems created by urban modifications of a natural stream and see firsthand the need to protect and restore these important blue-green corridors. \nRegistration: Call or email Kelly Eppink at 330-801-5446 | kelly@westcreek.org URL:https://westcreek.org/event/west-creek-reservation-parma-in-cuyahoga-county/ LOCATION:OH ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://westcreek.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/OLYMPUS-DIGITAL-CAMERA.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="West Creek Conservancy":MAILTO:info@westcreek.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260723T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260723T120000 DTSTAMP:20260714T132108Z CREATED:20260714T132007Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260714T132108Z UID:15404-1784800800-1784808000@westcreek.org SUMMARY:Farm Chores DESCRIPTION:We run a native nursery to help support our restoration projects.
