The great outdoors
Sometimes it can be helpful and beneficial for your health to take a moment and reconnect with the mother of all of us— Mother Earth.

This month, gather around a Frosty Morning Fire and learn about some Earth Herbals on Saturday, February 19. $3. 7:30-9am. Blue Creek Metropark, Whitehouse. 419-407-9700. metroparkstoledo.com
Making the ice accessible
Now ice fans of any ability can enjoy a day of skating outdoors in the Toledo area. The Ottawa Park State Rink, the community’s only open-air skating rink, opened for the season on January 7, introducing two new adaptive ice sleds. The sleds, which give skaters a chance to enjoy the ice while seated for extra stability, provide accessibility for anyone interested in hitting the rink or even playing a game of hockey. Ottawa Park will be observing all COVID guidelines throughout the season. For the latest information about hours and protocols, visit the Ottawa Park Ice Rink website at toledo.oh.gov/ice-rink
