The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) will host three open houses this month to encourage public participation in state forest management plans.

We display planned forest management projects for the upcoming year,” said Robert Boyles, ODNR deputy director and state forester. “These proposed projects include timber harvesting, prescribed burning, timber cruising, treating invasive species, recreation trails and facility maintenance.”
