    Investigate a Watershed: West Creek Reservation

    Saturday, May 15 �
    2 - 4 p.m. 

    West Creek Reservation


    What's a watershed? What animals live in the wetlands and creek
    waters of West Creek Reservation? Adults and families are invited
    to join Naturalist Bethany Majeski for a fun, hands-on, 1.5-mile
    exploration of this unique reservation. Perform simple
    water-quality tests and use nets to look for signs of life. Wear
    wettable shoes. For more information on this program, call
    440-734-6660.

     

    Wetlands to Waterthrushes

    Wednesday, May 26 � 9  - 10:30 a.m.

    West Creek Reservation 


    The wetlands, forests and riparian corridor of West Creek
    Reservation provide a refuge for dozens of colorful songbirds, from
    the brilliant scarlet tanager and rose-breasted grosbeak, to the
    tail-bobbing Northern waterthrush. Join Naturalist Jen Brumfield on
    a 1.5-mile trek to seek out a stunning variety of birds that have
    just completed a long migration north to nest in Parma's "big
    backyard." For more information on this program, call
    216-341-9225.

     

    In partnership with the city of Parma and the West Creek
    Preservation Committee, Cleveland Metroparks assumed management of
    West Creek Reservation in January 2006 via a 99-year lease, to
    enrich the community through the provision of outdoor recreation
    and education resources in the reservation.  Geologically
    unique and biologically diverse, the West Creek tributary not only
    provides natural beauty, but also a home to a variety of wildlife,
    flowing through the cities of Parma, Seven Hills, BrooklynHeights,
    and Independence where it eventually connects to the
    CuyahogaRiver.

     

    West Creek Reservation's main entrance is located off West
    Ridgewood Drive, between State and Broadview Roads in Parma.

     

    For more information on West Creek Reservation, call
    216-341-9225.

     

    Discover the watersheds and wetlands of West Creek Reservation, one
    of the 16 reservations of Cleveland Metroparks - part of your life,
    naturally.
