The 28th Annual "Birding and Breakfast" program is Saturday, May 2nd at 8 a.m. Join us for a potluck breakfast at the picnic shelter then go bird watching after. Who knows what we'll see?! Beginners to experts are welcome to participate and we'll have some loaner binoculars available. If you are able (but not required), please bring a breakfast dish to share with the group. If you've never done birding and breakfast before, it's great fun! Meets at the Walnut Woods Buckeye Area picnic shelter, 6717 Lithopolis Rd, Groveport

Walnut Woods staff, Resource Management team and park volunteers worked hard this week planting over 4 thousand trees!

We concentrated our efforts along one of our newly created wetland/vernal pools, riparian areas of the Walnut creek, the "White Pine" area of Tall Pines and a section of park property that was previously a farm field.
