Volunteer Spotlight: Celebrating 15 Years with Rick Bryan
As we move through the month of gratitude, we would like to take some time to recognize Black Swamp Conservancy’s most dedicated volunteer: Rick Bryan. This year marks Rick’s 15th year as a volunteer monitor for the Conservancy and we couldn’t be more thankful for him.
160-Acre Clary-Boulee-McDonald Preserve Becomes Seneca County Park
The 160-acre Clary Boulee McDonald Nature Preserve has been donated to the Seneca County Park District (Seneca Parks). Transfer of ownership of the nature preserve to Seneca Parks was completed during the second week of September following the completion of the restoration work done on the property. The Clary Boulee McDonald Nature Preserve, located in Kansas Ohio, is the largest restoration project Black Swamp Conservancy has undertaken to date.
Propelling Future Generations
We are thrilled to announce an upcoming scholarship for the 2024-2025 school year—the Dr. Donald R. Knepper Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship has been funded in perpetuity by an estate gift to the Conservancy by Dr. Knepper and will be administered in partnership with the Sandusky County Community Foundations (SCCF).
