Hope Springs Woods

Thanks to a Clean Ohio Grant and the commitment of the Arc of Appalachia Preserve System to create preserves for America's Eastern Deciduous Forest, our 100 acres of woods will now be saved for future generations.

On December 11th, we transferred ownership of these 100 acres to the Arc and it will be their 14th preserve. With this transfer comes the guarantee that this woods will be protected from logging and any other disruption of its natural evolution. We will work with the Arc to put in more trails so when you come to Hope Springs you can see even more of this beautiful land.

Over the last few years we have been in close collaboration with the leaders of the Arc of Appalachia Preserve System, learning from and supporting each other. To learn more about other preserves and the work of the Arc, visit their website: http://www.highlandssanctuary.org/.
