The Cuyahoga River Valley, from Lake Erie through the Akron area and beyond, ties this region together. 

  • How can the lessons of biomimicry be used to heal this place?
  • What can we learn from the Cuyahoga Valley's ecosystem that will advance new ideas in manufacturing, service delivery and social network building?   

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 28, 2010, 4:00 - 6:00pm. This event will include a hike in the Cuyahoga Valley to learn more about lessons that nature has to teach us.  Please plan to have shoes and jackets appropriate for the outdoors and predicted weather.
