MetroParks dedication set for Henning Trail

CANFIELD — A dedication ceremony is set for 11 a.m. Saturday at the Mill Creek MetroParks Farm to formally change the name of the farm’s Habitat Train to the Mindy Henning Memorial Trail.

The ceremony will begin at the MetroParks Bikeway Trailhead on state Route 46 and be followed by the presentation of the first award from the Mindy Henning Scholarship Fund. The fund was established in 2008 in memory of Henning, and scholarships are awarded to a college student studying outdoor or environmental education.

A bird walk will precede the dedication, at 9 a.m., led by Nancy Brundage.

Henning was a naturalist with the MetroParks for 17 years, and was highly involved in developing the trail at the farm several years ago.
