Our Ohio Mitigation Program is working hard to restore and enhance wetland and stream habitats across the state. Thanks to partners and support from people like you, we have restored 7.2 miles of streams and more than 155 acres of wetlands over the past two years through 13 projects led by the Ohio Mitigation Program, with 23 additional projects in various stages of implementation or evaluation. Hear from Restoration Ecologist, Jenn McDonald, about a current project that aims to restore nearly 9

How do we sample snakes on our preserves? 🐍 ✨ One easy way we find these critters is by looking under metal roofing, which traps heat from the sun. ☀️ Derrick Cooper, Northeast Ohio Preserves Manager, explains how these sheets are used for monitoring fields like this one. 🌱 🦋 This field has been restored over the last four years through a Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Recovery Grant. It houses and benefits snakes, butterflies, birds, dragonflies, and other species. Learn more about our conser

The relaxing sounds of a fall rain at Big Darby Creek Headwaters Preserve 🌧️🍂 💧At this nature preserve, coldwater springs and streams emerge, forming the Big Darby Creek’s permanent flow downstream. 💧These headwaters are fed by a complex of underground seeps, which contribute millions of gallons of clean, cold water to tributary streams of nearby Big Darby Creek. 💧These headwater streams—and the floodplains, forests and wetlands around them—are important not only for their influence on wate

Human beavers have been hard at work restoring Ohio’s ecosystems! 🦫 Throughout summer 2021, Nature Conservancy staff in Ohio partnered with Cleveland Metroparks and American Conservation Experience to construct 186 log jams in headwater streams in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Using hand tools, inspiration from nature, and a bit of sweat equity, more than a mile of stream habitat has been restored, helping to reduce erosion and sedimentation of these sensitive ecosystems. So what are log jams

In October, three rare fish species were released at our Big Darby Headwaters Nature Preserve into a series of wetland pools. 🐟 The blacknose shiner, a state-endangered fish, and the western creek chubsucker and the least darter, state species of concern, have been found in the area historically. Today, these species’ numbers have dwindled across the state. 📈 This project aims to repopulate the species in the Upper Big Darby Creek area and is being led by School of Environment and Natural Reso

It’s World Otter Day, so we’re giving the spotlight to North American River Otters! Found throughout the Midwest near rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water, river otters are specialists in semi-aquatic living. They have thick, warm fur, webbed feet, a long tail, and a narrow body. These adaptations make them incredible swimmers in almost any kind of water throughout the year, even in the harshest winter weather. River otters can stay under water for up to eight minutes, using their whiskers t

What’s a culvert?

When rivers flow, nature grows. 💧 The Nature Conservancy is committed to conserving 1 million kilometers of the world’s rivers by 2030—enough to stretch around the globe 25 times. We're doing our part here in the Midwest with partner-led solutions on and off agricultural fields to ensure that the nearly 500-mile long Wabash River remains a healthy habitat for the life it supports and the communities that depend on it. #WorldRiversDay #WaterConservation | The Nature Conservancy in Ohio

This is so cool! This video shows a plain pocketbook mussel in Big Darby Creek, Battelle-Darby Metro Park. The “lure” that this species of mussel uses looks like a fish, and other predator fish investigate and try to eat this lure, with the mussel releasing its glochidia (“baby mussels”) that immediately attach to the fish’s gills. The glochidia act like benign parasites and are then carried elsewhere, eventually detaching from the host fish. That’s how mussels get upstream. Different mussel spe
