Details in CMNH “Tracks.” Ohio Native Brook Trout and Steelhead News Wild Ohio Magazine — 2014 Winter Edition The Ohio Division of Wildlife , in partnership with the Geauga Park District and many partners including the Trout Club of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, initiated a cooperative research effort in the 1990’s to reintroduce the native Ohio Brook Trout back into headwater streams containing suitable habitat within their native range, primarily the Chagrin River drainage. An additional 15 streams were selected for stocking using offspring of the native Ohio strain. At the end of the 10 year project, 5 streams consistently demonstrated natural reproduction. Five streams showed natural reproduction and 6 did not. The Division of Wildlife has continued to monitor and has found only 7 remain viable. Our Trout Club is proud to have been a part of the valuable protection of this Ohio native fish.

All those who knew him recognized his powerful presence, affability, and his lifelong attachment to the outdoors, and to nature in all of its kaleidoscopic phases. The word nature has many different meanings, but for Ham, two aspects were particularly relevant. The word could re- fer to all the reality around us that is non-human (such as forests, rivers, glaciers, lakes, mountains and so on). However, we also refer to human nature when we take note of natural forces that function in and through human beings. It was precisely at the conjunction of nature in general, and human nature in particular, that Ham lived his whole life. Ham’s way of life was probably voiced best in the memorable words of the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas: “The force that through the green fuse drives the flower drives my green age… The force that drives the water through the rocks drives my red blood.” These lines capture the interrelationship between human nature and nature in the world external to humans. Thomas was implying that the forces that provided the energy for the growth of a flower were in a sense the same as the energy that enabled his growth as a young person coming into his own in the world of humans. When Ham devoted his creative energy to activities such as founding the Conneaut Creek Club, wildlife photography, teaching children to appreciate activities in nature, and promoting conservation groups, he was giving practical expres- sion to the spirit of his reverence and devotion to the natural world. Ham did not confine his activities to outdoorsmanship. He was also an accomplished athlete, excelling in baseball, golf, football and especially squash. Additionally, in business undertakings, he started The Mad Hatter, The Last Moving Pic- ture Company, the 13th Street Racquet Club and was co-owner of Drake Construction Company.

  • Best Bets for Ohio Fishing
    Best Bets for Ohio Fishing by Dan Armitage Ohio anglers enjoy year-round fishing action, and some months the opportunities are so varied that you need to organize your efforts to take full advantage of them. Here is a state-wide, month-by-month guide to where to find some of the best angling possible for some of our more popular gamefish. JANUARY Bluegills Indian Lake Ice fishermen from across Ohio head to 5,000-acre Indian Lake in northwest Logan County to take advantage of its famous ‘first-ice’ bluegill action. The Lucy’s Pond area is just one of the popular panfishing spots on the lake, which is located about 10 miles northwest of the city of Bellefontaine and is accessible from state routes 33, 708, 117, 366 and 235. Yellow Perch Lake Erie Practically any protected area along the Lake Erie waterfront is a potential spot for ice anglers to catch perch. Sandusky Bay and the main-lake waters west of Catawba Island are popular, as are harbor areas from Toledo to Conneaut. The 30 fish-per-day bag limit in that’s in effect year-round for Lake Erie perch may sound liberal — until a school moves in and hook-ups come as fast as shiners and jigs can be dropped through the ice. FEBRUARY Saugeyes Buckeye Lake The late-winter saugeye bite at 2,850-acre Buckeye Lake in Fairfield County is legendary among central Ohio ice fishermen. Ice often arrives early and usually stays late at this shallow, man-made impoundment located east of Columbus and accessed off state routes 204, 13 and 79.

  • Educational Enrichment Summer 2021 Special COVID-19 Addition
    Educational Enrichment Summer 2021 Special COVID-19 Addition No school should not mean “no learning.” Keep your kids active physically and mentally this summer by providing them fun, interesting, and educational things to do. This summer enrichment guide has 3 major parts: summer theme suggestions (this year focusing on the out-of-doors and fun at home), websites to find activities and events over the summer months, and suggested destinations within a 2 ½-3 hour radius of St. Thomas More. We are already planning ways to have fun over the summer. Joe has chosen a Hiking theme (our outdoor focus) and Michael has chosen Cooking (fun at home). Hopefully this guide will help your family do the same! Julie Esposito ([email protected]) Summer Theme Ideas Joe informed me six years ago that he wanted to study fossils. Michael, not wanting to be outdone, promptly said that if Joe got to study fossils, he wanted to study bones. Thus was born our new tradition of summer themes. Each child choses a topic and we look for books, websites, activities, events, destinations, and adventures centered around the theme. Other themes we have explored included gardens, forts, insects, airplanes & aviation, astronomy & the night sky, archeology, games, international, and Indians. Here are some of the ways we accomplish this: Check-out and read library books on the chosen topic(s) Search the web for videos and kid-friendly websites Have family discussion on topics related to the theme and family game nights Attend programs/activities offered locally for kids that fit in with the theme Visit places in town or as day trips to the surrounding area that fit the theme Look for ways to incorporate the theme in our vacation travel plans Plan cooking/dining experiences around the theme COVID-19: Did you know that in all the countries tracking COVID-19 outbreaks, there has been only one major identified outbreak outdoors? 90% of outbreak incidents took place in homes, workplaces, restaurants, and indoor gatherings (i.e.

  • Ohio DNR Annual Report for FY 2018
    ANNUAL REPORT OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES FISCAL2018 YEAR SOUTH BASS ISLAND STATE PARK Cover image courtesy of photographer Gabe Leidy, whose tent is pictured at South Bass Island State Park campground 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Over the past eight years, here at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), our team has focused on improving the lives of Ohioans. These efforts can be most easily seen in the capital improvement projects that have improved Ohio’s state parks system; the work being done to repair state-owned dams; legislation that makes it easier to participate in outdoor sports; and regulations that have created a safe and booming oil and gas industry. It was noted early in the Kasich administration that Ohio State Parks was saddled with half a billion dollars of deferred maintenance at properties across the state. This led to unsafe conditions at many of our lodges, cabins and campgrounds while also creating a lack of excitement by visitors. By investing more than $230 million in Ohio’s park infrastructure, visitors are now greeted with updated camping facilities, renovated cabins and improved lodges. These enhancements, coupled with added amenities such as splash pads, pools and new hiking trails, have led to a better experience for our visitors and an increase in overnight stays. The dam risk reduction efforts implemented seven years ago have led to an investment of more than $317 million toward keeping Ohio communities safe from the threat of dam failures. Out of 185 state-owned dams, 53 are classified as Class I, meaning they are high-hazard dams and a failure could cause loss of life.

    Waterfalls of Northern Ohio Dan Styer copyright © 18 September 2011 by Dan Styer 2 For my mother, who loves waterfalls 3 The Ohio territory consists of “fine, rich, level land, well-timbered with large walnut, ash, sugar trees, cherry trees, &c. It is well watered with a great number of little streams or rivulets, and full of beautiful natural meadows, covered with wild rye, blue grass, and clover, and abounds with turkeys, deer, elk, and most sorts of game, particularly buffaloes, thirty or forty of which are frequently seen feeding in one meadow.
