   The Land Conservancy, which works to protect the scenic beauty, rural character and natural resources of northern Ohio, is the state’s largest land trust.  It has preserved more than 250 properties and more than 15,400 acres.

   The Portage Park District, whose mission is to conserve Portage County’s natural and cultural heritage, now has 12 parks and preserves totaling over 1200 acres and 15 miles of hike and bike trails.  However, because multiple efforts to pass a park levy have been unsuccessful, most of those properties remain closed to the public. The Park Board recently formed the Portage Park District Foundation and is seeking donations to provide support for operations and park improvements.  For more information on how you can help, contact the Park District at (330) 297-7728.
