Mark your calendars! This year Columbiana SWCD has partnered with Carroll SWCD, Mahoning SWCD, and the Ohio Division of Wildlife to put together an event series known as the Conservation Wildlife Habitat Days (CWHD). This series will move throughout the partnered counties and showcase many different wildlife and forestry related conservation practices, that can be performed on a landowner’s property.
These events will also discuss different programs that landowners may be able to utilize to help them complete these practices. To start this series, we will be hosting our first event at Highlandtown Wildlife area in Columbiana County on June 29, 2024. The event will run from 9am-2pm and lunch will be provided.
The event will cover topics on food plots for wildlife, warm season grass plantings, edge feathering, tree plantings, and invasive species control. We will also discuss different programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), that may be available to help landowners
implement these practices. Additional details on cost and signup for the event will be available in the coming month. Please contact John Beilhart at (330)-277-2977 or by email at
