We went searching for sticky, icky, cool things and found them in the Ripley Run Wetland we established in 2006 when four-lane U.S. 30 was constructed.

Here’s what we found and why we care about those plants and creatures that now live there.

Ripley Run Wetland is along U.S. 30 three miles east of U.S. 68 in southern Hancock County.
