Skunk Cabbage


Our very first blooming “wildflower” produces enough heat to melt snow and raise its internal temperature to anywhere from 59 degrees to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s warm and toasty inside the smelly skunk cabbage!

Golden Marathon
Winter 2010
 

It may be cold outside, but it’s still a great time for walking in the parks!

A project of Preservation Parks of Delaware County and Senior Citizens Inc.

the Golden Marathon is a series of hikes – each about two miles – that add up to at least a 26.2-mile marathon at the end of three months.

The winter walks take place every Monday at 1:30 p.m. and are held in Preservation Parks' preserves and other area locations. Participants can join at any time.

Note: If the temperature is lower than 35 degrees Fahrenheit, walkers will meet at the Food Court at Polaris Fashion Place, 1500 Polaris Parkway, Columbus
.
Participants can join at any time.

Q/A

Nature
Center Attendants Wanted!

Imagine having the whole afternoon to relax in a beautiful Preservation Park nature center! Imagine time to chat with park visitors, time to expand on personal hobbies or projects, time to read, time to relax and get in tune with the season. Nature Center Attendants have time to do all of these while they make a huge contribution to our Preservation Parks team.  All you need to do is schedule time!

 Volunteers can choose to staff the McCoy Nature Center at Hogback Ridge Preserve or the Lodge at Dear Haven Preserve  for afternoon shifts from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m.  Flexible weekday and weekend shifts are available.
