Quinstock Woods Preserve

Located in Catawba Island Township, this property boasts more than 19-acres of mature hardwood forest along a major migratory bird path. This preserve is one of two strategic pieces of conservation land on Catawba Island that were purchased by the Black Swamp Conservancy through a grant from the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund. The other property, West Harbor Preserve, is the Park District of Ottawa County’s first park and sits directly on Lake Erie’s West Harbor waterfront.

This preserve provides critical wildlife habitat in an area that is under high development pressure. It is situated near both West Harbor Preserve and Dr. Robert L. Nehls Memorial Nature Preserve. By protecting this property and the others near it, the Conservancy is working to preserve the ecological balance of Catawba Island for our native species, migratory birds, and the people who reside there.

Quinstock Woods Preserve is closed to public access. For more information on this property, please contact the office.
