Petra Schmalbrock will lead a wildflower/wetland easy hike at this small wetland located in a busy part of Columbus. Not to long ago this wetland was threated with development and now it is a great place for people in an urban environment to safely see a habitat that is quickly disappearing in Ohio. The wetland has a nice easy, level boardwalk that goes throughout the site. This time of year is optimum for seeing various kinds of wildflowers and birds that live in these wetlands.
