Ray Novotny, Ford Nature Center manager and Mill Creek MetroParks naturalist, says he’s always been an advocate of keeping park founder Volney Rogers’ memory alive. Novotny organized a walk from Ford Nature Center to a statue of Rogers off Falls Avenue in Youngstown to honor him on the 91st year after his death.
