The Water (Bi)Cycle

June 15 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

| TT/Big Bend Trailhead

Akron reclaims over 2.5 million gallons of water a day, but Ohio’s wetlands have been on the job for over 2.5 million years. Enjoy a 12-mile round-trip bike ride as we explore the similarities and differences in how people and the environment reclaim water. Please bring your own helmet and bicycle. Helmets are required to participate.
