Guides to place names in other areas of Ohio will be published as the inventories are completed. All place names which appear on the topographic maps are listed by county and in alphabetical order, and the name of the map (or maps) on which that place name can be found is indicated. Included in this listing are townships, cities, villages, comm unities, streams, lakes, schools, churches, cemeteries, and other named natural and cul- tural features.

A few entries, such as State JACKSON------, Public Hunting Area or Game Refuge Area, are included because they appear in that form on the topographic map and may be useful to users of this directory. In some instances a printed map name is known to be misspelled, to have changed, or to have a variant spelling. In such a case the correction or variant spelling is given in brackets.

The fi ve hydrologic groups (A-E) of the framework provide the skeleton. Within each hydrologic group, watersheds are arranged alphabetically and impaired waters are sorted by stream code in their appropriate watershed. The information that follows each impaired stream includes the stream code, the affected water quality criteria, the affected designated use, the general cause of the impairment (where known), the impaired length (or, by default, the entire length), the planned or last possible timing of TMDL development and whether or not the stream was on the 2002 list. The cause of impairment is often unknown or uncertain at the time of listing and is so indicated on the list. The cause(s) of impairment and the contributing sources of pollution will be identifi ed in the TMDL development process. Many waters are listed, by default, for their entire length. In most cases, it is doubtful that the entire length of stream is impaired, but without further data, the exact length of impairment is unknown. Each listed stream will be revisited prior to TMDL development. The additional assessments performed in the pre-TMDL monitoring effort will better defi ne the impaired length. A West Virginia Watershed Management Framework map is provided to assist navigation within the list. A key is also provided to aid in the interpretation of presented information.

This directory of environmental education resources within the state of Ohio is intended to assist educators in finding information that can complement local curricula and programs. The directory is divided into three sections. Section I contains information on local environmental education sites and resources. These are grouped by EECO region, alphabetized by county, and further alphabetized by organization name. Resources range from arboretums to zoos. Section II lists resources available at a statewide level. These include state and federal government agencies, environmental education organizations and programs, and resource persons. Section III contains cross-referenced lists of Section I by organization name, audience, organization type, and programs and services to help educators identify local resources.

  • GROW OUTSIDEOUTSIDE a GUIDE to OUTDOOR PLAY Turn Over a New Leaf!
    GROWGROW OUTSIDEOUTSIDE A GUIDE TO OUTDOOR PLAY Turn over a new leaf! www.LNCIgc.org Dear Reader: Do you remember when parents told their children to “Go Outside and Play”? A time when unstructured play in nature built healthy bodies, encouraged creativity and a sense of wonder, relieved stress, facilitated learning and developed important social skills? In the relatively short span of thirty to forty years, we have removed our children from the natural environment that so effectively nurtured healthy child development. When Richard Louv published his book “Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder” in 2005, he issued a call to action for the parents and mentors of today to return children to the healthy, outdoor lifestyle that has prevailed throughout human evolution. We hope this guide will inspire you to encourage today’s children to “GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY”!! ! Leave No Child Inside – Greater Cincinnati sage ... es from uv M Richard Lo A Author, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder Today, kids are well aware of the global threats to their environment, but their physical contact, their intimacy with nature on a day-to-day basis, is fading. A fifth-grader in a San Diego classroom put it succinctly: “I like to play indoors better ‘cause that’s where all the electrical outlets are.” I believe our society is teaching young people to avoid direct experience in nature. That unintended message is delivered by schools, families, even organizations devoted to the outdoors, and codified into the legal and regulatory structures of many of our communities – effectively banning much of the kind of play that we enjoyed as children.
