Help Save Ohio’s Parks

The frackers are starting to circle our state parks and public lands, looking to loot and pollute. The process of proposing the fracking of selected state parks and nature preserves has begun. Please go to Save Ohio Parks for information on how you can make your objections known to the activities of the frackers, and to join the effort to protect instead of exploit for profit, our lands. Please contact Randy Cunningham at randino49@gmail.com for more information
