Tenderfoot Learning Lab is a beautiful place that provides healthy habitats of mixed mesophytic forests. Throughout the three miles of hiking trails you can expect to see a variety of tree species, including pine, white pine, red and white oaks, poplar, red maple, sassafras, beech, and some hemlocks and sycamores in the ravines. The Fall Fungi Festival provides an excellent display of a thriving Appalachian Ohio forest.
