"The best example of a boreal and prairie fen complex in Ohio with many rare plants and animals, excellent orchid and prairie wildflower displays."
--ODNR 1996
Cedar Bog Nature Preserve is the largest and best example of a boreal and prairie fen complex in Ohio.
It has many rare plants and animals, as well as excellent orchid, prairie, and woodland wildflower
displays.
An almost mile long boardwalk guides the visitor through this preserve of Ohio's recent to
Ice Age past. Mastodons probably fed here, and all of the Indian cultures of Ohio lived around here.
Beginning in the spring of 2008 construction will begin on a new Education Center.
The building will include exhibit and classroom space as well as a gift shop.
