Athens Conservancy

This easement was purchased using Clean Ohio Conservation Fund moneys.

One of the Conservancy's greatest successes to date was the establishment of the Riddle State Nature Preserve, which contains Hawk Woods, one of the most significant old-growth forests in Ohio,[7] again using Clean Ohio moneys.

The Conservancy sponsors the Athens Area Outdoor Guide through the website.

This is an extensive website that details open-space lands throughout southeast Ohio, with maps and directions for access.

It also provides the Athens Outdoor Guide, Southeast Ohio Mapping Center and an NNIS (non-native invasive species) information center on-line (see at the website, below) as a public service.
