Bioblitz 2018

Ohio Wetlands Association invites interested naturalists to join our effort to observe, discover and report on the diversity of all living things on the Coyote Run Farm. The owners of this property are devoted to protecting and restoring the habitat where they live and the land around them in perpetuity. OWA strongly supports their efforts. Wetland restoration projects are currently underway.
Suburban expansion pressure in this region is intense. Deep knowledge and a well-documented, diverse biota will serve as a bulwark against those forces. Biodiversity growth is expected as restoration and expert stewardship continues.
Add your interest and expertise to our project.
