As many of you know, the Nature & Wildlife Center has not been able to open this summer due to safety concerns and construction delays from the Covid-19 pandemic. Like many businesses, this has caused quite a bit of financial strain for the Nature & Wildlife Center. Due to the strict (but necessary) health and safety guidelines, The Center canceled the majority of their fundraisers; in fact, the Pig Roast To Go & Online Auction is the only major fundraiser this year. All of the proceeds from the Online Auction and Pig Roast tickets will go to our general fund (operating costs & wages) for the Nature & Wildlife Center. Please take a look at the amazing auction items and place your bids! Your money is going to a great cause to help the Nature & Wildlife Center continue our education programming. From Nature Camp and school groups, to tours at the Center, we do our best to promote the conservation of and education about the flora, fauna, and lands of the Lake Erie Islands for both islanders and island visitors.
We greatly appreciate your continued support of the Lake Erie Islands Nature & Wildlife Center!
Be well,
Renee Fultz
Director
Lake Erie Islands Nature & Wildlife Center
Due to the extended restrictions in Ohio, Lake Erie Islands Conservancy cancels the popular Bass Islands Green Week for 2020. It is in the best interest to postpone most events until next year when LEIC can open up events to larger groups while still staying smart about the health of visitors.

Put-in-Bay School Transition Team (Mr. Steve Poe, Ms. Margie Warnicke, Mrs. Carol Cerny, Mr. Craig Schuffenecker, Mrs. Debbie Bianchi, Ms. Karen Goaziou, and Mrs. Suzanne Kostura) has met weekly since 2 June 2020 to gather and discuss information to shape the decision-making process for re-opening school.
Based upon the mandates and recommendations from our government officials, the advice from the CDC and health officials, and the uniqueness of Put-in-Bay School, the Transition Team has developed two options for the re-opening of school. These options are explained in detail in the PDF document identified below.
