FOREST FRIENDS TRAIL COMING SOON! (2021)
Meet our partner...the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio
Have you heard that the Hocking Soil & Water Conservation District has received a $2,620 grant from the Stewardship Pillar of Prosperity Grant through the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio this year? These funds will be used to support our Forest Friends Trail project and will directly help us to create a trail and natural play area for our young visitors to the Bishop Educational Gardens. The trail will have an Ohio mammals’ theme and encourage exploration and learning through outdoor play and movement.
“This is such a wonderful addition to Bishop Educational Gardens because it allows children the opportunity to learn and play at the same time. The trail will represent seven orders of mammal species in Ohio through art and natural materials. What make the trail special is that several Lilyfest artists including Spirit Williams, Colonial Wagon & Wheel, Nancy Ehlert, along with Logan High School art students, and Appalachian Ohio Restore Corps (AORC) AmeriCorp members are collaborating with the Hocking SWCD staff to create this trail. The trail will be located on a portion of the existing Paul B. Hoskins trail”.
Stay tuned to Hocking SWCD’s Facebook page, Instagram page and website for more details and official opening date.
