Thanks to everyone who took the "where did Krenda take this photo?" quiz. The majority of you were correct, the answer is Ohio.Leaders see beyond the stereotypes they hear
Who would think that the largest conservation parks with endangered animals is located in Ohio? Once again, don't listen to the sterotypes of Ohio as just factories & farms.
The Wilds mission is "advancing conservation through science, education, and personal experience". It's a 9,000 plus acre conservation park that opened to the public in 1994. What a thrill to be so close to these majestic animals.
There are 27 species of rare or endangered animals living in a 14 square mile area of reclaimed mining land. This is a family friendly place you can teach your children about conservation. We went with 3 toddlers and they loved the safari tour.
Tip: Bring your hiking shoes! Even though it's a bus tour, the tour gives you time to walk to ponds or throughout the Carnivore Conservation Center (opened in 2007 with cheetahs and African wild dogs). You'll see unique animals and wildflowers, so get off the bus.
I hope you can experience it too. Season opens May 2nd. Camps available June-August.
