668 Venture Boulevard, Wooster Ohio 44691
WHAT: All citizens and visitors are welcomed to celebrate Arbor Day with the Grand Opening of Wooster’s Clear Creek Nature Park on Venture Boulevard, our community’s newest greenspace
preserve. Learn how Clear Creek Nature Park came to be, enjoy refreshments, observe Wooster’s traditional tree planting, and explore the three-quarter-mile paved walking trail weaving through
pristine woodlands with its boardwalks and overlook. Your newest park preserves a unique combination of wetlands, forest, and grassland leading into Clear Creek, a tributary of the Killbuck,
while providing an opportunity for recreation and discovery for residents and visitors of all ages. Additional plantings will follow later this spring, along with construction of a play space for children.
WHEN: The celebration will start at 2:00 pm on Friday, April 29, 2022, recognized throughout the world as Arbor Day. Wooster will join other cities, states, and nations across the globe in growing a
healthier planet as it commits to more forestry and advancing education opportunities.
WHERE: Drive, walk, or bike to Clear Creek Park at 668 Venture Boulevard, Wooster, Ohio. Festivities will be held at the park’s pavilion immediately north of the parking lot.
WHO: Join the City of Wooster and our project partners in celebrating our newest nature park on Arbor Day! Our 11-acre park was made possible through a partnership with Clean Ohio, the State of Ohio Legislature, Natureworks, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Seaman Family Foundation, the Family of John Wesley, and the City of Wooster.
WHY: The City of Wooster is committed to advancing a high quality of life for all residents and visitors by fostering opportunities for ecology and greenspace, promoting healthy lifestyles by extending its walking trails, and supporting education through conservation.
With the partnership of several private and public entities and utilizing several grants, the City of Wooster provided a new ecological and recreation feature for our community with a very high return on investment for local taxpayers.
