RESCHEDULED!! -- Bumble Blitz at Letha House Park in Medina County

Due to heavy thunderstorms the Medina County Park District has rescheduled the "Bumble Blitz" at Letha House Park for Saturday, July 29th. This event is for anyone, ages 12 and up, that would like to learn identification skills and help search for bees among the fields and forests. We will focus most of our attention on the approximate 36-acre restoration site on the east side of the property, but visitors will be free to explore the entire 160-acre site. The restoration area, completed in 2010, is comprised of wetlands surrounded by prairie buffers. Numerous wildflower species on the site provide excellent habitat for pollinators of all shapes and sizes. We hope you'll bring a camera/phone, your enthusiasm, and curiosity to hunt for bees to add to our knowledge of the species present at Letha House Park.

Letha House Park is located at: 5745 Richman Road, Spencer, OH 44275. We will meet near the shelter on the east side of Richman Road at 11am. We will be off trail in tall vegetation, so long pants tucked into boots are strongly recommended. There will be an ice cream social at the end of the survey, so please let Shelley Tender know if you plan to attend (330-239-4814).
