| F/Tuscarawas Meadows Area

If you have any questions regarding this program, please call the Nature Realm Visitors Center at 330-865-8065, Tuesday—Saturday, 10 am—5 pm, Sunday 12–5 pm.

Soil is the foundation on which our communities are built, but it isn’t the same everywhere. Hiking about 1.6 miles, we’ll talk soil cores along the way to see how differences in the earth beneath our feet change how we experience a place.
