Sears Woods State Nature Preserve

Sears Woods State Nature Preserve is an impressive beech-maple old-growth woodland adjacent to the Sandusky River. The preserve contains one of the best remaining fragments of the once extensive forest which covered this region of the state. Sears Woods has an abundant display of wildflowers. They blanket the spring forest floor under a canopy of maples, oaks, cherries, and hickories. The forest provides spectacular views during the fall season with brilliant fall foliage. Sears Woods is named in honor of the nationally renowned Yale professor of ecology, Paul B. Sears from whose family this preserve was purchased in 1986.
