Protect Your Land

Captina Conservancy engages primarily in the conservation of natural areas, forest lands, riparian corridors and farmlands 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.

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.

CARE FOR YOUR LAND

Landowners can establish legal deed restrictions to protect the agricultural and conservation values existing on their properties for generations to come. Captina Conservancy can oversee and insure that those protections remain in place and are observed, regardless of future ownership.

The Conservancy can also own properties, protecting them from development and promoting them as long term natural preserves.

ABOUT:
Raven Rocks is located in Belmont County's Wayne Township, within Ohio's Appalachian Plateau. The property is a magnificent area with natural, historical and archeological significance. The series of ravines, sandstone cliffs, extensive rock overhangs, and miniature waterfalls is unusual in the eastern Ohio hills. In 2014, Raven Rocks was placed into a conservation easement with the support of the Clean Ohio Green Space Conservation Program, making it the largest natural area conservation easement in Ohio history at that time.
