From waterways and wildlife to trees, invasive species and parks, the Natural Resources Division is dedicated to the preservation, conservation, study and management of the city’s natural areas.

City Of Mentor

The City of Mentor Natural Resources Division will be documenting long term habitat changes within this restored floodplain. Before restoration in 2019-2020, this floodplain consisted of a channelized waterway that ran from Heisley Road to near where this sign is. The successional progression of this habitat will be monitored via this citizen science project.

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History alongside the city of Mentor and other partners worked to removed invasive Phragmites grass from the marsh. This station will help monitor long-term changes and the return of native plant species!
