Rising Valley pollinator meadow

Thanks for helping us monitor this new pollinator meadow. This site was previously a community soccer field. Due to lack of use and change in land ownership, Cleveland Metroparks decided to transition this space to a pollinator meadow planted with native wildflowers and grasses. Staff plowed, disced and rotavated the area to prepare it for seeding in spring of 2023. These native plants will benefit an array of butterflies, bees and birds. Photos from this site will help us monitor the growth and bloom of these beautiful plants. You can also help monitor other sites: Bonnie Park Wetland Restoration, Bonnie Park Dam Removal, Euclid Creek park revitalization & trail extension, Euclid Creek headwater restoration at Acacia Reservation, Floating wetlands, Garfield Park pond/stream and Wendy Park shoreline.
