Ohio Wildlife Diversity: A Conservation State of Mind
OutdoorHub 12.06.12
Whether we think Ohio is a red state or a blue state that is a matter of great debate, but we do know we are a “Conservation State”. Our keynote speaker will enlighten us on how Ohio compares to his worldly travels and how awesome Ohio is – even in our own backyards! Steve Pollick, retired outdoor writer with the Toledo Blade continues to write about his explorations and observations that will have you thinking about Ohio in a whole new light. Additional topics for the day will include:
- Breeding birds in Ohio – how many are there?
- Ticks – information you need to know if you spend time outdoors
- How to become a Certified Volunteer Naturalist
- Aquatic algae and how it impacts wildlife
- Bats – and their struggle with the disease White Nose Syndrome
- Social media – what does it mean for conservation
- And everyone’s favorite, the Eastern box turtle!
