November 3, 2007 - MNC Presents the Animal Planet Channel's Animal Educator of the Year Mona Rutger from Into the Wild!
September 29th 2007 - Saris Wetlands Program with Ohio Environmental Protection Agency!
On the morning of September 29th, 2007 a group of about 15 gathered at Saris / Aurora Wetlands off Route 82 for an educational tour of the property brought to you by Moebius Nature Center in partnership with the OEPA.
In the above photo our Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Wetlands expert from the North East District Office uses a specialized tool to extract a small core sample of about 1.5 feet of soil.
With a portion of the sample in hand, Ed uses a Munsel chart to confirm the type of soil and thereby confirm it as a wetland. This is a part of the process the Ohio EPA uses to identify wetland. Other factors such as plants and animals present and also how much of the time an area is under water also are necessary to be identified in order to determine if an area meets the USEPA definition of a wetland.

February 17, 2007 Tracks and Scat Hike
Despite deep snow conditions everyone had great time! We saw tons of deer tracks, also squirrel, mouse, and fox.....also heard and saw two barred owls, they were singing their "I am so in love with you" owl song. ;) The snow was so deep in some areas that it was past our knees so all participants got the added benefit of cardio work out also!
Everyone had a good time and we all stopped at the nature center for cookies and hot chocolate afterwards.
Participants:
Ann, Sharon, Dr. Jim Tomko hike leader
Marty, Rob, Kim, Don (Scott taking picture)
