EXPLORE BIG CREEK VIRTUALLY on a video tour of the abandoned channel of Big Creek known as the Brooklyn Oxbow. The tour guides are Bob Gardin, executive director of Big Creek Connects and Roy Larick, PhD, from Bluestone. This video shows and explains the history of this area known as the "Kingdom". The geologic formations, cliffs and outcroppings of Cleveland and Chagrin Shale are explored; the rare Maple-Oak-Sasafras-Ash forest are examined; and the need to protect this rare piece of land in the middle of the city from invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed is explained.
