The program includes speaker Jim Bell, Park Manager of Euclid Creek Metropark presenting park information and opening up the discussion to questions about the park, its programs, and perhaps opportunities for FOEC to participate in future events.
Bring your questions about Euclid Creek Metropark.
Click on the following link for a map of the park which may help remind you of questions you wish to ask.
"Euclid Creek Reservation is named for the Euclid Creek which runs the length of the reservation. It features wooded hillsides where the rare rock chestnut oak grows.
The reservation is located in Euclid, South Euclid and Richmond Heights. The southern portion of the reservation is the site of a 'ghost town.'
The village of Bluestone flourished in the late 1800s and early 1900s when its populace quarried the blue-gray siltstone for use in building sidewalks and other construction.
Today, the only remaining exposure of bluestone is in Quarry Picnic Area.
Deer, fox and other wildlife have relocated to the reservation because of the diminishing open spaces in adjacent areas."
