James Brady+FollowRare fisher returns to Cleveland after 100+ yearsA fisher—a secretive, cat-sized mammal related to otters and weasels—has been spotted in Cleveland Metroparks for the first time since the 1800s! This rare sighting is a huge win for local conservation, showing that efforts to restore forests and wetlands are truly paying off. Fishers were wiped out in Ohio long ago due to habitat loss and overhunting, so seeing one back in Cuyahoga County is a big deal. It’s a reminder of how nature can bounce back when we protect our wild spaces. What other wildlife comebacks have you noticed around Northeast Ohio? #Science #Cleveland #Wildlife00Share

davenportmeghan+FollowBig changes coming to Shaker Blvd. apartmentsAfter years of frustration over neglected apartments on Shaker Blvd., residents are finally seeing a turnaround.

Lori Elliott+FollowCleveland family’s EMS wait raises tough questionsA 19-minute wait for an ambulance left a Cleveland family shaken after a 78-year-old woman needed emergency help for a blocked airway.

Have you or someone you know faced a similar wait? #Health #BodyHealth #Cleveland10Share
