A recent microburst swept through parts of Shaker and Cleveland Heights, causing significant damage across the Nature Center. The storm destroyed the All Peoples' Trail trailhead pergola and damaged the beloved entrance sculpture. Fallen trees and debris also impacted trails and natural areas throughout the property.

While we are busy with summer of camps, programs, and daily visitors, our staff is now working quickly to clean up damage, ensure safety, and restore these important community spaces. Your gift will help cover our insurance deductible, storm-related cleanup costs, and the unexpected expenses of repairing and rebuilding what was lost.

Together, our community can help restore what the storm damaged and keep nature accessible, welcoming, and safe for all. Thank you for your support.

If you would like to discuss additional ways to support, including stock or donor advised funds, please contact Rob Sikora, Sr. Director of Philanthropy at sikora@shakerlakes.org
