Olentangy River Wetland Research Park

The Wilma H. Schiermeier Olentangy River Wetland Research Park is an experimental wetland complex located adjacent to the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, United States and is part of the School of Environment and Natural Resources at the university.

Begun in 1992, the park has developed into a multitude of different habitats and setups which are used by OSU faculty and students for research.

[3] The site is located on a 20-hectare (50-acre) parcel immediately north of the Chemical Abstracts Service campus along the banks of the Olentangy River.

These boardwalks are normally closed to the public except during guided tours to prevent disturbance to the ongoing experiments.

In addition, the invasive Eurasian honeysuckle (Lonicera mackii) is occasionally harvested in this forest to allow a more diverse understory to develop.
