Olander Park System event

The Olander Park System hosted a weekend walking event on Sunday, Jan. 20, 2013. Families met up with conservation manager Erika Buri, to learn about the park system’s unique, natural areas, and also to hear a few tips and suggestions on how to explore the outdoors all around the city of Sylvania. One of the goals of the park system is to increase conservation efforts, by exposing residents to nature. CLICK ANY IMAGE TO VIEW FULL PHOTO, START SLIDE SHOW.
