The SHORE Line presents: Celebrating Lake Erie's Natural Treasures

S3, E27 There's more to the Lake Erie islands than great restaurants, entertainment, and scenic waterfronts—and this episode of The SHORE Line proves it! First, we're joined by Renee Fultz, Director of the Lake Erie Islands Nature & Wildlife Center, to explore Island Green Week (August 1–8), a week-long celebration of the islands' incredible natural beauty, wildlife, history, and outdoor recreation. Learn about the special events taking place across four Lake Erie islands all week and discover why this is the perfect time to experience a different side of Put-in-Bay and its neighboring islands. Then, we welcome Jill Bartolotta from Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Laboratory and Emily Rugg from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to discuss Lake Erie Awareness Day on August 6. From hands-on educational activities to learning about the lake's history, wildlife, and conservation, you'll hear why this annual event is a favorite for families, visitors, and anyone who loves Lake Erie. Plan out your week at LakeErieIslandsWildlife.com/Island-Green-Week. Connect with Ohio’s greatest natural resource and get outside and explore! July episodes of The SHORE Line are brought to you by Declaration 250! For more information and the full event schedule, visit Declaration-250.com.
