The Lower Olentangy Urban Arboretum (LOUA) was formed in 2010 by a coalition of organizations interested in three goals: improve water quality, enhance the habitat for native species, and contribute to the beauty, cohesion, and quality of neighborhood life.

This project will hopefully help to promote awareness of the biodiversity in the ravines in the Clintonville/Worthington region of Columbus, particularly the Iuka, Glen Echo, Wahalla, and other nearby ravines. Please feel free to post observations of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects, plants, and fungi. Organisms observed whose identity is unknown are strongly encouraged - we're sure that someone will be able to identify it! less ↑
