Cleveland Museum of Natural History

In 1959 GCC created the Native Ohio Wildflower Garden at the Museum and continues to support this with funds, material and labor. Annual collecting of wild flowers continued for 20 years.   As time passed, we no longer collected from members' woodlands but started a salvage operation. Under the direction of Museum botanists and with developers' permission, we salvaged material before the bulldozers arrived at future building sites, in a GCC program titled 'The Big Dig'.

As the years progressed, the Museum's desire to increase total environmental understanding meant the addition of an enclosure containing native birds and animals that lived in the same habitat. The name was changed to The Perkins Wildlife Center and Woods Garden. Polls show that this has become the favorite visiting area of all museum members. Now in 2025, the Museum has completed a total renovation, providing new galleries, exhibits and programs.  The GCC is also renewing its efforts with annual salvage operations and continuing financial support.
