  • Edison Woods Natural Resource Management Plan
    Edison Woods Natural Resource Management Plan Tara Kauffman, Natural Resources Manager Brad Phillips, Environmental Projects Coordinator (April 2012-Updated February 2019) Erie MetroParks mission is to conserve natural resources while connecting the community with nature through education and exploration. The 1,340 acre site known as Edison Woods MetroPark is owned and operated by Erie MetroParks, and is located in Berlin Township, Erie County, Ohio. The property is between State Route 61 (Ceylon Road), Mason Road, Frailey Road, and Driver Road. Smokey Road runs through the northeastern portion of the site. A railroad and power line corridor defines the northern boundary of the site (see attachment property map). Edison Woods is a combination of sandstone cliffs, wetlands, woodlands, and meadows with a variety of seasonal wildflowers, rare plants, amphibians and reptiles. There are approximately 550 acres of wetland habitat and 300 acres of restored native grasslands. You can find 10 plus miles of trails that take you throughout the wooded and prairie habitats, including an Adventure Walkway and Geocaching. Features and Resources Various parcels throughout the area that is now Edison Woods were purchased by Ohio Edison in the late 1970’s for the purpose of constructing a nuclear power plant. In 1991, Ohio Edison leased the property to Erie MetroParks for passive recreational use. Edison Woods was purchased from The Ohio Edison Power Company in 2001 with Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program (WRRSP) funds. This program was created by the Ohio EPA to counter the loss of ecological function and biological diversity that jeopardizes the health of Ohio’s water resources.

MetroParks has willfully disregarded this Caurt's Writ with respect to Otrusina by waiting nearly two years to initiate any lawsuits, never initiating an eminent domain action for Otrusina's property, and then eventually settling with all other property owners except for Otrusina, which remains wholly uncompensated for the taking of its property.
