Ag leaders from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana meet to discuss western Lake Erie water quality

Featured, Featured, Home Page News, Michigan, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, News, Ohio /

The Western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB) watershed is shared among three states, covering nearly 7 million acres of land.
But when it comes to agriculture and water quality, there are no state lines. With that in mind, the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) recently hosted a discussion around water conservation with agricultural leaders from Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan to focus on improving water quality in the Western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB).

New sign-up to benefit quail on hand in Ohio and through range

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Ohio /

Northern bobwhite quail and other grassland bird species have declined significantly over the last several decades. A primary cause of these declines, according to the National Bobwhite and Grassland Bird Initiative, is loss of native grassland habitat. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently announced a new conservation initiative to help overcome that problem.

Civilian Marksmanship Program traces its history to 1903, Roosevelt

Featured, National News, News, Ohio /

In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt suggested that this country should encourage rifle practice among school boys and all others, including those in the military services. Roosevelt was encouraging government support for marksmanship. That support eventually led to the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) and the National Matches.
The CMP, which was privatized in 1996, promotes marksmanship through firearms training, safety, competitions, and youth programs. It is a federally chartered 501c-3 corporation.

A Girl & A Gun: Women’s shooting league chapter makes strides in Oxford, Ohio

Featured, Hunting, National News, News, Ohio /

Consider that every gun is always loaded, know your target and what’s behind it, don’t point at anything you’re not willing to destroy, and finger off the trigger until the site is on the target.
There’s coffee, doughnuts, and laughter — a lot of laughter — at Mayday Gun Range in Oxford, Ohio. The A Girl and A Gun (AG & AG) meeting is in full swing. However, Scarlet Day, owner of Mayday, makes sure that safety is always front and center.

Otsego Schools to benefit from H2Ohio project

Featured, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Ohio /

Frogs, snakes, and crayfish are already returning to the northwest Ohio wetland newly restored under the H2Ohio Initiative. They were probably well-camouflaged when the Ohio DNR (ODNR) joined the Black Swamp Conservancy and Otsego Local School District representatives for the ribbon-cutting ceremony in early October.
The project took 16 acres of previously farmed land and restored it to woodland and wetland habitat. The Otsego School will use the site for cross-curricular activities, and the school’s FFA program will use an onsite farm plot to demonstrate the value of using natural habitats to filter agricultural runoff.
