Woodlake will host a BioBlitz to celebrate River Day, a regional event emphasizing the importance of the Cuyahoga River to vitality of NE Ohio. Visitors to the station will join faculty and students of Cleveland State and John Carroll Universities in surveys of major ecological features of the station campus, including stream ecology, wetland ecology, aquatic and terrestrial vegetation, insects, amphibians and reptiles, deer, and coyote.
