| Summit Lake Nature Center

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.

Martin Luther King Jr. continues to inspire communities with the work he did over half a century ago. In his honor we will be making seed balls with native, pollinator friendly plant species that can be planted during spring in areas lacking vegetation. Dress for a mess. Please bring an egg carton to transport seed balls.
