The DIKE 14 NATURE
PRESERVE COMMITTEE welcomes and is open to all persons and organizations
interested in the conservation of the existing 88-acre Lake Erie coastal
wildlife area at Dike 14, for the benefit of wildlife and people. Diverse
habitats at the Dike 14 Nature Preserve provide essential sanctuary to
significant numbers and diversity of migratory birds as well as refuge for
nesting and resident birds and other wildlife. Unique to Cleveland's
shoreline, this wildlife area provides the only quality habitat for migratory
birds along 100-miles of urbanized Lake Erie coast between Huron and
Mentor. The Dike 14 Nature Preserve Committee advocates the preservation
of Dike 14 as a nature preserve with judicious public access. Since
January 2001, the Dike 14 Nature Preserve Committee has functioned as a
clearinghouse, an information source and a point of contact for Dike 14
issues.
