Access to the Indian Lake Elementary School Wetland just got a bit easier! Indian Lake Schools applied for and received a $5,000 Ohio STEM Learning Network Classroom Grant from Battelle to install a walkway from the back of ILES down to the wetland. Crews recently poured the pad and sidewalk, making it accessible to all students.
The long-term vision is to install a boardwalk out into the water for better study of the wetland flora and fauna. Building the boardwalk was originally part of the Careers@ILS 21st Century federal grant scope, however the high cost of wood and materials currently has that project on pause.
