With over two decades of leadership, Deb has grown the Conservancy into one of the most impactful national park friends groups in the country—expanding educational programming, launching arts initiatives like the beloved concert series, and forging deep community connections across northeast Ohio.Deb reflects on her journey from curriculum developer to CEO, the strategic merger that launched the Conservancy, and the importance of board leadership, diversified income streams, and collaborative partnerships. She offers powerful insights on what makes nonprofits thrive, how to get involved in the national park space, and why parks are essential to our mental health and social fabric.This conversation is both a celebration of Deb's legacy and a roadmap for aspiring leaders who believe in the healing power of nature and the value of strong community-rooted partnerships. As Deb prepares to step down later this year, her story offers wisdom, inspiration, and a reminder that we are ultimately judged by what we do, not what we plan.Feeling inspired and want to support Cuyahoga Valley National Park?

Send us a textMera Cardenas is a historic preservationist working to connect people to place as the Executive Director of Canalway Partners. We are the people, and the place is the historic Towpath Trail, located within the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area. The 100-mile Towpath Trail from Cleveland to New Philadelphia follows what once was a significant transportation artery from the mid-1800s until the railroads came. The trail was completed in 2021 when the final section was constructed in Cleveland, ending at Canal Basin Park following 40 years of planning and $54 million. For Mera, preserving this connection between past and present is her passion and mission as she honors the legacy of her predecessors who envisioned and transformed Cleveland's industrial corridor into its recreational backbone.With her background as a CNN producer and cultural historian, Mera brings a unique storytelling perspective to her role. Under her leadership, Canalway Partners has expanded its community engagement through signature events like the Lantern Parade, environmental stewardship through River Sweep, the Towpath Trilogy and Cleveland History Days, featuring over 70 events highlighting the region's heritage.Canalway Partners started with a meeting of like-minded people 40 years ago who never lost sight of their vision to reclaim Cleveland's industrial valley and bring us a unique, world-class recreational space. Today, Mera Cardenas is its new Executive Director, following the retirement of Tim Donovan, who led the development of the trail. The work ahead will bring us new opportunities to experience the trail and the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage area through expanded public spaces like Canal Basin Park in Cleveland and the many trails linking east and west with the Towpath as the spine and the Cuyahoga River as the source. As we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the canal's construction this year, Mera reminds us that our waterways fundamentally shaped our communities: "We're here in Cleveland and in Akron because of the construction of that canal. Everything that came after came from what the canal brought to this region."Learn more at canalwaypartners.com or follow their social media for upcoming events.Learn More:Our Guest, Mera Cardenas, Executive Director, Canalway PartnersCanalway EventsDiscover the Towpath TrailVolunteer with CanalwayHistory and Legacy of the Towpath TrailOhio and Erie Canalway National Heritage AreaOhio and Erie Canalway CoalitionFollow us: https://www.facebook.com/ecospeaksclehttps://www.instagram.com/ecospeakscleContact us:hello@ecospeakscle.com

Whether this is your first listen of our weekly podcast or number 299, welcome and thank you for listening. We hope you find these episodes interesting and present information or a side to the parks that you previously didn't know about. Frankly, that's the approach that we try to take at the Traveler. Not only to provide newsworthy information, such as National Park Service funding for hurricane impacts, but also to highlight aspects of the National Park System that you may not have been aware of. For example, take Jennifer Bain's story from Oregon Cave National Monument and Preserve, and its collection of purely American Monterey furniture, or Barbara Jensen's article from Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Ohio and Eerie Canal Towpath there. Or Sharon McDonald's piece on the Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site in California. Today, we're joined by contributors Kim O'Connell and Lynn Riddick to talk about the unusual, and at times eclectic content that you'll find on the Traveler.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park is nestled between Akron and Cleveland, Ohio. It once was an industrial wasteland, filled with debris from the nearby auto factories. The Cuyahoga river was so polluted that it literally caught fire. That fire was a moment that sparked an environmental movement. But I'm headed upstream. I'm going to follow the river and its story from its grim past to becoming a national park. We'll look at how a toxic dump was transformed into a national park and a thriving ecosystem, teaming with life. THE WILD would not be possible without listener support.

21-Year-Old Male Shot at Drive-ThroughAkron police and EMS were dispatched to the scene at about 11:15 p.m. Tuesday. They found the victim, an employee at the store, with an apparent gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at 11:38 p.m.The shooting occurred after a man approached the drive-thru window on foot seeking to buy black and mild cigars, Akron police Capt. Michael Miller said.He handed the clerk some cash that was in poor condition, possibly with soil or blood, Miller said. A dispute quickly broke out over the condition of the money. The suspect then pulled out a long-barreled rifle. That's when the clerk returned the cigar to the suspect and asked him to leave with it.Before fleeing on foot, the suspect fired at least two shots through the window at the group of employees inside the drive-thru, striking the 21-year-old at least once.

We recorded this important conversation live from PurpleBrown Farm Store in Peninsula. Last year, farmer Sasha Miller opened her store to sell products from her own farm, located in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and those of many other local farms and makers. On the occasion of the store's 1-year anniversary, CLE Foodcast convened three female farmers to discuss the local food ecosystem, what the life of a small Ohio farmer is really like, and how we all win when local agriculture thrives. My guests: Sasha Miller of PurpleBrown Farm and Farm Store, Lizette Barton of Barton Farms and Gardens and Alexis Dragovich of Mud Run Farm. Each came to farming differently, but they share the same values, goals and hopes for a healthy, sustainable future for our planet. In this conversation we dig deep into their daily lives and practices, issues around quality and price, the things they do to foster a healthy local food web and how we can help them to be successful (while eating better and closer to the land). This episode is supported by Chef Douglas Katz, Cookin' Genie and the Kimpton Schofield Hotel.

Mark Trapp isn't as well-known as his draft horses Doc and Dan and he's OK with that. On the surface, he's a quiet guy. But Mark has a lot to say about his approach to farming which is responsive to the current moment and also an homage to the old way of doing things. Mark's farm is in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and he lives there with his wife Emily and three children. This engineer-turned-farmer talks to me about what it is like to have a farm in full view of the public, why those animals seem to be grazing in new places every day, and how he feels confident in his abilities while, at the same time, realizing that there is so much he doesn't know. This episode is presented with support from Chef Douglas Katz and the Katz Group of Restaurants.
Our conversation today is with Tom Tyrrell, Founder and Chairman of Great Lakes Biomimicry, an entrepreneurial 501(c)(3) organization (recently having merged with the Ohio Aerospace Institute) with a mission to create conditions for innovation through biomimicry, focused on assisting organizations explore new opportunities, solve problems and drive sustainability.Biomimicry, which we'll explore in much more detail in our conversation, seeks to drive this innovation by harnessing the intelligence found in nature's 3.8 billion years of R&D — asking questions nature has already found the answers to — for example questions like how does nature manage structural forces, sense motion and temperature, manage temperature, change shape, coordinate, optimize material and energy? how does nature evolve to survive; adapt to changing conditions; be locally attuned and responsive; be resource efficient; employ life-friendly chemistry?Prior to founding Great Lakes Biomimicry, Tom was a co-founder and chairman of Segmint, a Northeast-Ohio-based startup and provider of data analytics-driven marketing technology (acquired by Alkami in April 2022).He was a Co-Founder, Senior Advisor, and Director of Glengary, which combined a network of support services with investment capital.Tom's thirty-three-year career prior, all in the metals industry, included significant turnaround, M&A, and IPO experience, with responsibility for four start-ups, restarts, or consolidations ranging from $250M – $1.5B in sales, partnering directly with investment firms including Primus Venture Partners, PNC Equity Management, Warburg Pincus and The Blackstone Group. In 1988 he was awarded Inc. Magazine's Entrepreneur of the Year (EOY) award for Business and Industry and, in 1989, was selected as an entrepreneur of the year finalist for the restart and operation of the American Steel & Wire Company.Since moving to the Cleveland area in 1986, Tom has spent virtually all his spare time engaged with the three E's – Education, Environment, and Entrepreneurism – all focused on enhancing Northeast-Ohio's regional economic development. He has actively supported both undergraduate and graduate-level entrepreneurial programs at midwestern colleges and universities as a trustee of Elmhurst College, Baldwin-Wallace College, and Lorain County Community College where he is also a member of the GLIDE Innovation Fund Board and served on the NorTech Board of Trustees, the Youngstown Business Incubator Board, and the Akron Archangels. He also was a trustee of the Ohio & Erie Canalway Association, the oversight board for the federally funded Ohio & Erie National Heritage Canalway. Tom has been involved with the Canalway since 1988, is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Conservancy of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, was the Founding Chair of the Trails Forever Endowment Leadership Initiative for the Conservancy and a former trustee of the Cleveland Zoological Society.This was easily one of my favorite discussions to date covering a wide range of topics and the full breadth of tom's experience — I hope you all enjoy my conversation with Tom Tyrrell!--Connect with Tom Tyrrell on LinkedinFollow on Great Lakes Biomimicry on Twitter: https://twitter.com/glbiomimicryFollow Segmint on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Segmint Learn more about Great Lakes Biomimicry Learn more about Segmint--Connect with Jeffrey Stern on LinkedInFollow Jeffrey Stern on Twitter @sternJefeFollow Lay of The Land on Twitter @podlayofthelandhttps://www.jeffreys.page/
The moment you meet Steve Baker you know he was born to teach. He's the COO and lead educator at Spice Field Kitchen, the nonprofit arm of Spice Hospitality Group, the innovative company that brought us memorable and engaging concepts including Spice in Gordon Square, Keep The Change Kitchen, Plated Landscape dinners and, coming soon, Boom's Pizza. Owner Ben Bebenroth and his family live on Spice Acres in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and use this real life natural ecosystem to teach local agriculture to kids (and others) through Spice Field Kitchen, a 501(c)3 organization cultivating connection between nutrient-dense foods, sustainable agricultural practices and health and wellness. Steve creates engaging experiences with the land through immersive tours on the farm and in an outdoor classroom adjacent to a bountiful learning garden. Online, there are even more resources that educate and celebrate Ohio agriculture including Local Lessons for Growing Minds, an engaging curriculum to connect students with the source of healthy, nutrient-dense food. I talk to Steve about the farm tour experience, how kids react to immersion in nature and why lessons like this have huge impact the way kids think about their food choices.

Sasha and Jimmy Miller were not raised on farms and they did not have much practical experience before they purchased an old farmstead within the boundaries of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Armed with an audacious vision and self-taught knowledge, in just five years they have transformed the land into a bountiful permaculture farm where they run a CSA program and farm store, raise chickens, ducks and pigs (and a couple of boys), and grow a variety of fruits and vegetables. As the Millers prepare to expand the farm in a new way, I talk to Sasha about growing a successful farm from scratch, how a farmstead like hers can impact a community through engagement and education, and why our choice to "buy local" matters. Hint: We also talk about chasing down loose pigs.
