The Nature Conservancy in Ohio

The 650-acre preserve features an ancient kettle lake within the heart of one of Ohio’s finest remaining glacial wetlands.

The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.

With 8 diverse nature preserves open to the public, including the Lucia S. Nash Preserve located right here in Geauga County, there is an abundance of opportunities to explore what makes Ohio so special. Watch for signs of life at the scenic Snow Lake and listen for calls from sandhill cranes and other wildlife nearby as you take an easy two-mile hike through wetlands and forest that are home to an abundance of native plant species.

The Lucia S. Nash preserve is located at 16429 Snow Rd., Burton, OH 44021. The preserve is open from dawn to dusk, April through November.
