For example, in October 2017 the ODNR Division of Forestry’s Zaleski State Forest staff hosted the Buckeye Hero Hunt with help from other division and department staff members, as well as dozens of volunteers. The Division of Forestry partnered with the ODNR divisions of Wildlife and Parks & Watercraft to provide this guided archery hunt event for disabled American veterans from Ohio to hunt white-tailed deer. Sixteen disabled veterans participated and twenty-one deer (fifteen antlerless and six bucks) were harvested over the weekend. Following are some more of the opportunities offered to the public this year: • Four Issues of The Ohio Woodland Journal: 3400 copies of each issue mailed or distributed • Newsletters, workshops, videos, Smokey Bear messaging, Project Learning Tree-Ohio activities, and educational presentations developed and presented by ODNR Division of Forestry’s professional foresters • Sample of events hosted by and/or with participation from ODNR Division of Forestry: Thunder in the Hills wild turkey hunt @ Pike State Forest and the NWTF Wheelin’ Sportsmen Turkey Hunt @ Blue Rock State Forest: the ODNR Division of Forestry’s Pike and Blue Rock state forest staff hosted these hunts with help from other division and department staff members, and many volunteers. The hunts were organized for disabled hunters to enjoy the outdoors while hunting for wild turkey. Eleven people participated and three turkeys were taken during the event at Pike State Forest; nineteen people participated and eight turkeys were taken during the event at Blue Rock State Forest. Tree City USA programs (see Urban Forestry Program section on page 3) ODNR Division of Forestry’s Teacher Field Days @ Vinton Furnace State Forest: 30 teachers Conservation Day in Crawford County for 5th graders Camp Canopy: 92 campers; 40 instructors; 10 counselors Ohio State Fair Farm Science Review Gold Star Mother’s Club Annual Pilgrimage, Ohio Memorial Shrine: approximately 100 attendees ODNR Division of Forestry’s Miami Trace 3rd Grade Forestry & Wildlife Field Day: 50 high school FFA students for the first program; 200 3rd graders for the second program Paul Bunyan Show ODNR Division of Forestry’s Forest of Honor Hocking State Forest Fall Color Tour: Approximately 200 people attended this event, which included tractor-drawn wagon rides through Hocking State Forest, learning about forestry and wildlife, enjoying bean soup & cornbread, and learning from many displays and presentations on forestry and wildlife issues in Ohio, all in the midst of the beautiful autumn outdoors of Hocking State Forest. ODNR Division of Forestry’s Pike County 5th Graders Forestry Field Day: 390 participants Tree Farm tour for Tree Farmer of the Year: 550 attendees A Day in the Woods — 2nd Friday Series; calendar year 2018: 9 programs April-Nov. = 433 participants 12 Ohio’s Urban Forestry Assistance Program provides community officials and allied agencies with the organizational and technical assistance to effectively manage the trees and land within their communities. Ohio’s statewide network of regional urban foresters help develop and support sustainable urban forest management programs and empower communities to manage their urban forest resources to meet their local needs. The division’s urban foresters also act as liaisons for the Tree City USA Program of the Arbor Day Foundation.

Ohio also led the nation for the third straight year with the most Tree City USA Growth Awards with 35 communities meeting the requirements. Ohio’s 241 designated Tree City USA cities, villages, and townships, as well as its 22 Tree Campus USA educational institutions and five Tree Line USA utilities demonstrate a continuing commitment to enhance the quality of life for Ohioans through purposeful management of their urban forest resources. The Urban Forestry Assistance Program also continued to foster several longstanding and successful partnerships in FY18. The program has partnered with the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Ohio Expo Center over the past seven years to increase tree canopy at the 360-acre State Fairgrounds through Operation Shade. These state agencies set out to grow large shade trees in a heavily impervious site utilizing suspended pavement systems that hold large, uncompacted soil volumes and act as stormwater storage facilities. In November, the 6th and final suspended pavement installation was completed bringing the total project to 58 trees planted in more than 70,000 ft3 of soil which has the potential to store and treat 90,000 gallons of stormwater. Within 30 years the trees planted in the suspended pavement systems and in other locations throughout the site will provide an estimated 2½ acres of canopy cover. Furthermore, a longtime partnership with Ohio State University Extension enabled the completion of data collection for the 50th year of the Ohio Street Tree Evaluation Project. The program also continued support of the Urban Forest Strike Team (UFST) initiative through participation on the Northeastern Area UFST Advisory Committee and attendance at the October Team Leader Training in Connecticut. 3 The Northwest Ohio Field Windbreak Program, an interagency effort, began in 1977 to encourage planting of field windbreaks in northwestern Ohio to reduce soil erosion, protect crops from

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.
