WOOD COUNTY PARKS IN
EVERY SEASON!
|
|
     |
Of course you know that there are
always things to do outside - fall, winter, spring and summer -
even in a
park, and especially in the parks and preserves of the Wood County Park
District
in Northwest Ohio.
For one thing, parks and preserves
look different as seasons change, and when you venture out to them you open
yourself to myriad close encounters with nature, wildlife, and yes, people.
If you teach yourself to listen and
observe, you will encounter the treasures earth holds for you and gradually
come to enjoy the magical adventures available any time of year in your Wood
County Parks.

Bees communicate by making special dance
movements. When a new source of pollen has been found, a bee
will spread the good news by doing a special dance. For
instance, if a bee dances in a circular motion then it means
that food can be found nearby.
