You’re Invited to a Third Thursday Program Hosted by Mid-Ohio Valley Climate Action

“Restoration Ecology in the Mid-Ohio Valley”

Thursday, January 19, 2023a—7:00 -9:00 p.m. on Zoom

Whether it’s reclaiming “wild” lands, re-establishing native plants and trees, protecting habitats for birds, butterflies, mussels, and other wildlife, cleaning up river waters, or simply creating places for humans to enjoy the natural environment, this program will offer ways to get involved in projects in the MOV.

Mark Krivenchenia, who recently initiated a volunteer stewardship program at the Broughton Nature and Wildlife Education Area near Marietta, will explain the history, goals and purposes of restoration ecology, as well as describe projects already underway in the region.

Vic Elam, manager for the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will describe ongoing work at the Refuge, and his vision for the 22 islands spread over 362 miles of the Ohio River through West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky, including Buckley, Middle, Muskingum and Neale islands in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
