Put-in-Bay Township Park District Acquires Duff Vineyard Preserve

The Put-in-Bay Township Park District has officially completed the purchase of the Duff Vineyard Preserve! This significant acquisition was made possible through a collaboration of various partners, including the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund, the Lake Erie Islands Conservancy, the Park District of Ottawa County, and the Randolph J. and Estelle M. Dorn Foundation. Additionally, numerous generous donations and no-interest loans from private individuals helped bring this project to life.
