Naturalists Judy Semroc and Larry Rosche, co-authors of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History's Dragonflies and Damselflies of Northeastern Ohio, are two of the foremost experts for identifying odonates in Ohio. They will be leading a wading field trip of the Clear Fork of the Mohican River to discover and identify dragonflies and damselflies of central Ohio.

No limit on the number of participants, but you must sign up. Sign up by emailing Guy Denny at guydenny@centurylink.net. Please include your cell phone number if you have one so we can stay in touch in the field if needed. We will meet at 10:00 a.m. at the parking lot at the junction of State Route 97 and State Route 3 in Ashland County just about 2-3 miles south of Loudonville, Ohio. We will actually be wading in the Mohican River, so make sure you have old tennis shoes or wading shoes to wear - not boots. Pack a lunch and water. In case of rain, we will reschedule the field trip to Monday, July 1.
