Welcome
to
Northeast Ohio
. Rich in both natural and cultural resources, this 17-county area is home
to some of Ohio's highest populations of both people and livestock
resulting in SWCDs playing a major role helping the region maintain a
balance between agricultural sustainability and "smart growth"
of urban areas.
Among
the special places here are the Lake Erie coast, including the unique lake
plain soils; the rich farm land stretching from Huron and Erie to Stark,
Wayne and Ashland counties, home to many Amish settlements; and the
wetland and wildlife habitat areas in southern Ashtabula and northeastern
Trumbull Counties.
Challenging the
balancing act is the abundant rain and snow falls that help feed the
high quality riverine systems flowing both to Lake Erie and the Ohio
river including wild and scenic portions of the Little Beaver Creek,
Conneaut Creek, and the Chagrin;
Upper Cuyahoga
and Grand Rivers.

5/22/2008- Highlandtown Outdoor Education
Days - The
annual Highlandtown Outdoor Education Days were held on May 13th and
14th at the Highlandtown Wildlife Area located in
Columbiana
County
.
This event drew 275 fifth grade students from United Elementary,
Crestview Elementary, West Elementary and McKinley Elementary.
Fish identification, forestry, gun safety, native
Ohio
snakes, wetlands
and wildlife management are some of the activities that are provided at
this event. Furbearer trapping and a turkey trapping demonstration
are
also included. Everyone involved feels that it is important to teach
our youth that the outdoor world has so much to offer.
Outdoor Education Days was established in 1995 and has been a successful
program ever since. The event is made possible by the Ohio
Department
of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife, Highlandtown Wildlife
Area;
the Columbiana Soil and Water Conservation District; the ODNR Division
of Forestry and many volunteers.
