Owlexander's Tree Trek
Explore the Tree Trek nature literature trail. There are more than 100 tree species native to Ohio and this trail educates the hiker about 14 species - including information about the tree’s family name, leaf shape, bark appearance, commercial use, and, in some cases, interesting folklore. This trail is primarily aimed at middle schoolers, but is a fun and free activity for the entire family!
