Members of Wild Ones and their guests are invited to join us for a tour of Zenvironment, located in the Oak Openings Region of northwest Ohio. Our tour guides, owners Jon and Susan Cross, are on a mission to restore their 20 acres of rare woodland, sand barren, and wet prairie. Their recipe for conservation models how private landowners can contribute to healthy environments, clean water, and native species repopulation.
The Crosses will guide us through their property, identifying rare native wild flowers and outlining conservation efforts as we go. The Crosses previously shared their photo presentation with us at the November 2025 Wild Ones Ann Arbor Area meeting (Video).
LOCATION AND TRANSPORTATION
Zenvironment is located southwest of Toledo; our chartered motor coach trip will take about one hour and 15 minutes each way.
