    Cleveland Metroparks Institute of the Great Outdoors (IGO) is
    offering a wide selection of summer adventures for outdoor
    recreation enthusiasts, including:



    Jackson Bog: An Ohio
    Endangered Ecosystem



    When is a bog not a bog? Join Naturalist Tim Krynak on a tour to
    Jackson Bog State Nature Preserve in Stark County. This unique fen
    (a low and marshy or frequently flooded area of land) is full of
    unique plant life and is a result of natural events that occurred
    more than a million years ago. The tour includes a walk through the
    fen to discover how the Wisconsinian glacier created this diverse
    area, and why many of the plants are found here and not throughout
    Ohio.
