Otsego Schools to benefit from H2Ohio project

Frogs, snakes, and crayfish are already returning to the northwest Ohio wetland newly restored under the H2Ohio Initiative.

The Otsego School will use the site for cross-curricular activities, and the school’s FFA program will use an onsite farm plot to demonstrate the value of using natural habitats to filter agricultural runoff.
