OAK HARBOR, Ohio — An Oak Harbor family is paying it forward for the sake of research and wildlife, putting 80 acres of old farmland to use for future generations instead of just sitting on it. But a tornado that tore through in June almost put a project in jeopardy.
In memory of her mother Lois's deep care for nature, this spring, Harder-Thorne began transforming her family's farm into a wetland. The goal is to grow area wildlife and educate youth through her STEM program, Earth Heart Farm. But the project almost didn't happen after an EF2 tornado hit in June, causing widespread damage to her family's home and their land.
“People were skeptical we were going to be able to do this after being through this,” Harder-Thorne said. “They were surprised. I said, 'Oh yeah, we are going to host it;' here we are.”
