About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Celebrate Stebbins Gulch-Bole Woods at Holden Arboretum in Geauga and Lake Counties with OGFN! Bole Woods is a mature beech-maple forest remnant that is a unique discovery opportunity. We will gather for a short ceremony and then walk into Bole Woods for a mile walk in this extraordinary forest. We will not be entering the Stebbins-Gulch area at this ceremony due to its distance from our gathering area. Please meet at the Long Center for Plant & Environmental Science.

Please be sure to wear appropriate footwear and bring layers as the weather might change, as well as plenty of water and snacks.

Organized by

Old-Growth Forest Network

The Old-Growth Forest Network is the only national network in the U.S. of protected, old-growth, native forests where people of all generations can experience biodiversity and the beauty of nature. Find out more at www.oldgrowthforest.net!

OUR WORK: Identify and Preserve

Our goal is to locate and designate at least one protected forest in every county in the United States that can sustain a native forest. We estimate that to be approximately 2,370 out of 3,140 total counties. To achieve this aim we work to identify forests for the Network, ensure their protection, and inform people of the forest locations. We are building not only a network of forests, but also an alliance of people who care about forests.
