How We Can Help You

In addition to education, our work includes offering voluntary conservation agreements (i.e., conservation easements) with private property owners and through donations and fee-simple acquisitions of property from willing owners within, but not limited to, those sections of Belmont County and Monroe County, Ohio, containing the watersheds of Captina Creek and its tributaries as well as Guernsey, Noble, Harrison, and Jefferson counties.
