Far beyond the Cleveland Museum of Natural History’s newly revamped building in University Circle is a collection of natural areas, part of the museum’s conservation program. Covering more than 12,000 acres across 10 Northeast Ohio counties, the museum’s portfolio of natural areas includes bogs, fens, marshes, swamps, wetlands and a ravine. In 2020, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History acquired Kelsey Ravine in Claridon Township in Geauga County.
