About the Business
Welcome to Forrest Woods Nature Preserve, a captivating park and tourist attraction nestled in Cecil, Ohio. Located at Township Highway T-192, this 393-acre preserve is the largest owned by The Conservancy and serves as a vital remnant of the historic Great Black Swamp. This remarkable site is a sanctuary for 39 rare, threatened, and endangered species of plants and animals, offering a unique glimpse into the region's natural heritage.
Since 2016, our dedicated team has undertaken significant stream and wetland restoration projects at Forrest Woods, revitalizing 145 acres of natural habitat. We've transformed nearly a mile of agricultural ditches back into thriving streams, enhancing the ecological balance of this precious landscape.
Visitors can explore the preserve's diverse ecosystems and witness the ongoing transformation through our Chronolog time-lapse project, which captures the development of a wetland restoration completed in 2021. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a wildlife observer, or simply seeking tranquility, Forrest Woods Nature Preserve promises an enriching experience for all who visit. Come and discover the beauty and significance of this extraordinary natural treasure in the heart of Ohio.
Reviews
"I find it to be a tranquil, and inviting atmosphere."
"Love to see people saving wildlife"
"A gem ... a protected piece of the once-vast Great Black Swamp, with rare plants and wildlife living on in the sheltered wetland forest. Plus, the fields surrounding the Black Swamp remnant are a great place to see the restoration of natural habitats in real time thanks to the Black Swamp Conservancy. But note that you must contact them for an easy-to-get permit before you visit."
"Love it"
"A total back to nature experience"
