Please join us Saturday to hear entomologist MaLisa Spring talk about hoverflies and flower flies! These include those marvelous insects that mimic bees or wasps, or can hover in the air for several seconds above a flower, and you wonder what the heck they are! MaLisa was the state coordinator for the Ohio Odonata survey and the Ohio Bee survey in which Cedar Bog took part. She is an author and a frequent speaker at nature conferences in the state.

Today was bittersweet as we dedicated our new fire ring to the memory of Mel Pratt - former Cedar Bog board member and dedicated volunteer. Mel was our storyteller during Boo In The Bog for many years. Her brothers, Steve and Jeff Pratt traveled to Cedar Bog for the dedication of the fire ring and benches we had made in memory of Mel. We shared stories, memories, and laughs. The fire ring has Mel's name and the following words cut into the steel - Slainte Mhath, volunteer, friend, storyteller. We hope it honors her memory for many years.
