One of the joys of a naturalist’s life is learning to see nature as an endlessly changing cycle, repeatable and predictable through the years. This brochure is a guide to some of the events that mark each new week through the months and seasons in Cleveland Metroparks. In it are combined observations from the fields and forests of Cleveland Metroparks reservations for a period of over five years. Remember that weather affects not only plant growth but animal behavior as well. The times are sometimes an average
taken during a number of years.
