2022 CREP Award
The Waufords live on a picturesque property in Jerusalem Township, where Crane Creek, a tributary of Lake Erie, runs through it. They have enrolled approx. 30 acres in the Lake Erie CREP and H2Ohio Wetlands program, as well as installed filter strips and windbreaks. Sandhill Cranes, Wood Ducks, Bald Eagles, and many species of water fowl as well as River Otters and American Beavers can be seen benefiting from the habitat they have established and preserved.
