Urban Forestry Program URBAN FORESTRY PROGRAM The Ohio Urban Forestry Program provides leadership and scientific-based information to local communities to build capacity to develop and enhance self-sustaining urban forestry and tree care programs that maximize the environmental, economic, and social benefits trees provide for all Ohio residents. ODNR Division of Forestry’s Urban Foresters directly assist Ohio communities with the: Development of professionally-based resource assessments and management plans. Establishment and training of professional municipal forestry staff. Development and review of tree ordinances and policies. Establishment of new or enhancement of existing advisory organizations. 2015 Ohio Urban Forestry Statistics Total Urban Forestry Assists ............................................................ 492 Total Community Assists ................................................................. 421 Total Communities Assisted ............................................................ 135 Tree City USA Communities ........................................................... 241 Growth Awards .................................................................................. 36 Tree Campus USA ............................................................................. 13 Tree Line USA ..................................................................................... 5 Volunteer Hours .......................................................................... 56,665 Trees Planted .............................................................................. 28,759 Trees Pruned ............................................................................... 87,153 Trees Removed ........................................................................... 33,360 Expenditures (Urban forestry-related, Tree City USA community expenditures) $44,898,234.10 In 2015, the Urban Forestry Program awarded over $132,000 in tree planting funds to nine communities through the Lake Erie Watershed Canopy Replacement grant program. The funding was passed through from US Forest Service Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funds for the Cuyahoga and Black River Areas of Concern. The Urban Foresters continued to provide formal training for Ohio Tree Commissions and municipal staff through the national award-winning Tree Commission Academy (TCA). TCA is a unique educational platform designed to give tree commissioners the urban forestry knowledge and skills 2 Urban Forestry Program — continued necessary to be effective commission members. TCA embodies the “teach people to fish” philosophy by empowering communities to build sustainable urban forestry programs from within. Rather than funding a onetime tree planting project, TCA’s eight day course prepares communities to plan, prioritize, and execute the necessary steps to sustain annual plantings in addition to the many other tasks and responsibilities of a comprehensive tree care program. By covering classroom topics ranging from tree biology to budgeting as well as hands-on field experiences with Urban Site Index and Master Planting Designs, TCA ensures a solid foundational education while increasing the capacity of new and veteran tree commissioners to implement a successful program. In 2015, the Urban Foresters conducted 76 TCA classes for 290 students from 131 communities. In addition, two TCA Conclaves were held for 43 students from 14 communities. Since the inception of the academy in 2009, 911 citizens in 248 different communities have registered for the program, impacting over 4.6 million Ohioans. The Urban Foresters also hosted four regional urban forestry conferences and presented at several arboriculture and urban forestry programs and events including the Ohio Chapter - International Society of Arboriculture’s Ohio Tree Care Conference and ISA Certification Preparation courses. In March 2015, the Urban Forestry Program partnered with the US Forest Service and Massachusetts Tree Wardens and Foresters Association to conduct an Urban Forest Strike Team (UFST) Training in Columbus. The UFST provides assistance to communities on urban tree damage assessment following natural disasters. The initiative involves recruiting, training, and deploying professional urban foresters and arborists to assess tree damage using FEMA and International Society of Arboriculture Tree Risk Assessment standards. The assessments help communities plan needed recovery work and document the amount of damage and cost of clean-up. This efficient and nationally accepted process helps communities obtain financial assistance more quickly through FEMA and begin the recovery process following a significant storm event. Upon completion of the training, these “Task Specialists” are placed on a roster to be contacted if local, state, or regional assistance is needed. Task Specialists representing 17 Ohio communities as well as ODNR, university, and arboretum staff are now trained and prepared for deployment within the State or in response to an out-of-State request for assistance. The training was also attended by neighboring U&CF staff from West Virginia and Indiana. In October, twenty-six City Foresters from across the state attended the 2015 City Foresters’ Symposium and shared information, expressed areas of mutual concern, and received statewide updates. The topic for this year’s symposium was storm preparedness and featured a speaker with national FEMA disaster experience. 3 Northwest Ohio Field Windbreak Program — continued Northwest Ohio Windbreak Program—Row Miles Per Year 1977-2015 Row Miles Row Year (#WB’s) Year Total Miles Year Total Miles Year Total Miles 1977 (101) 46.8 1990 (65) 32.2 2003 (53) 113.3 1978 (60) 27.5 1991 (78) 47.9 2004 (30) 35.4 1979 (38) 15.7 1992 (63) 39.0 2005 (26) 33.1 1980 (39) 13.4 1993 (68) 37.5 2006 (23) 29.1 1981 (38) 13.8 1994 (57) 37.2 2007 (33) 65.1 1982 (26) 9.3 1995 (54) 39.6 2008 (35) 65.9 1983 (22) 13.0 1996 (61) 37.8 2009 (21) 46.8 1984 (34) 15.8 1997 (39) 31.8 2010 (24) 38.7 1985 (46) 20.4 1998 (48) 35.7 2011 (7) 18.2 1986 (60) 23.2 1999 (36) 28.2 2012 (10) 18.4 1987 (32) 12.8 2000 (29) 21.5 2013 (9) 14.2 1988 (51) 31.1 2001 (62) 104.4 2014 (6) 3.6 1989 (42) 21.4 2002 (51) 76.2 2015 (10) 17.3 Total 1,332.2 5 FIRE PROGRAM The Division of Forestry provides leadership in wildfire prevention, training, suppression, and prescribed fire management.

Late in 1998, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) produced a succinct planning document for outdoor recreation in Ohio titled Strategic Plan for Recreation Opportunities. Input was gathered for this plan from numerous public and private agencies and through 19 public forums and five focus groups, held statewide. Based on this statewide input from the citizens of Ohio, ODNR identified five goals in the Strategic Plan for Recreation Opportunities. These goals were set for ODNR as a whole, with a primary focus on those Divisions within ODNR that have a recreation based mission.

  • By Michael C. Hansen and Educational Leaflet No. 9 Revised
    INTRODUCTION People have become increasingly aware of the damage that can be wrought by earthquakes in populated areas. Dramatic portrayals of the destructive potential of earthquakes are revealed in images of catastrophic devastation, such as Sumatra in 2004, where nearly 230,000 people died from a magnitude 9.1 earthquake and subsequent tsunami; Sichuan, China, in 2008, where more than 87,000 people were killed from a magnitude 7.9 by earthquake; Haiti in 2010, where possibly as many as 316,000 people were killed from a magnitude 7.0 Michael C. Hansen and earthquake; and Japan, where nearly 21,000 lives were lost in 2011 from a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. In Ohio, and indeed in the eastern United States, there is a perception that destructive earthquakes happen elsewhere but not here, although the damaging 5.8-magnitude central Virginia earthquake in 2011 awakened many people to the fact that strong earthquakes can occur in the eastern United States. Seismologist Robin K. McGuire has stated that “major earthquakes are a low-probability, high-consequence event.” Because of the potential high consequences, geologists, emergency planners, and other government officials have taken a greater interest in understanding the potential for earthquakes in some areas of the eastern United States and in educating the population as to the risk in their areas. Although there have been great strides in increased earthquake awareness in the east, the low probability of such events makes it difficult to convince most people that they should be prepared. EARTHQUAKES AND EARTHQUAKE WAVES Earthquakes are a natural and inevitable consequence of the slow movement of Earth’s crustal plates.

  • History of Wild-Turkey (Meleagris Gallop a Vo) Transplants in the Ohio Hill Country
    96 ROBERT W. DONOHUE AND CHARLEY E. MCKIBBEN Vol. 73 HISTORY OF WILD-TURKEY (MELEAGRIS GALLOPAVO) TRANSPLANTS IN THE OHIO HILL COUNTRY1- 2 ROBERT W. DONOHOE AND CHARLEY E. McKIBBEN Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife, New Marshfield, Ohio 45766 ABSTRACT Wild turkeys once inhabiting Ohio have been extinct since 1904. Between February 1950 and November 1971, therefore, a total of 397 wild-trapped turkeys was released on 16 forested sites in the Ohio Hill Country, 142 received from other states and 255 trans- planted from other Ohio sites. Field investigations following these releases have docu- mented the subsequent re-establishment of the wild turkey in the State. In 1972 sig- nificant turkey populations were known to exist in 92 townships in 17 counties (Jefferson, Monroe, Washington, Morgan, Perry, Hocking, Athens, Meigs, Vinton, Gallia, Jackson, Ross, Highland, Pike, Lawrence, Scioto and Adams). INTRODUCTION Records are clear that the wild turkey once inhabited the entire state (Donohoe and McKibben, 1970, p. 1-2). The widespread conversion of forestland to crop- land and wood products during the 1800's, coupled with liberal hunting apparently led to the extinction of the wild turkey in Ohio in 1904 (Chapman, 1938, p. 656). The regrowth of large forested areas in southeastern and south-central Ohio prompted an attempt by the State to reintroduce the wild turkey. Between 1952 and 1957, 1,400 game farm turkeys were reared and released in several large forested areas by the Division of Wildlife (Sickels, 1959, p. 75). Subsequent field investigations showed that these releases were unsuccessful. Tar Hollow State Forest in Ross County and Zaleski State Forest in Vinton and Athens counties at first showed promise for game-farm turkey establishment.
