Protected in conjunction with the Henry-Wood Sportsman Alliance (HWSA), the Laskey Family Nature Preserve is protected lands along the Maumee River in Henry County. The Miami Erie Canal Lands run along the property line, and there is a small stocked pond for fishing programming. In 2025, Henry-Wood Sportsman Alliance in conjunction with The Nature Conservancy and H2Ohio did a full scale wetland restoration project to enhance wildlife habitat and hunting lands.
From HWSA: “As a history of the property states, the “Old Indian Treaty Boundary Line” once ran through this fertile piece of ground. Beginning in the 1800s, the land was owned and cared for by the Laskey family. The Laskeys are descendants of the Honorable George Laskey, who came to this country from England in 1833 and became a prominent Pioneer Citizen of the Maumee Valley. His wife, Ann Janette, was the daughter of the local pioneer family, the Howards. Four generations of their heirs have protected this bottomland and hickory grove, eventually agreeing to partner with the Henry-Wood Sportsmans Association to assure the land’s natural preservation. “
