The only natural U.S. population of Lakeside daisy is grown in the Marblehead’s Lakeside Daisy Preserve, a site maintained by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources preserve. This preserve was established to protect the only United States population of the Lakeside daisy, a federally threatened plant species occurring only at two other sites, both in Ontario Canada. In addition, a state endangered species; this is one of Ohio's most spectacular wildflowers. On May 10, representatives from ODNR will be on hand at the site.
