Many of us, perhaps all of us, have enjoyed the natural areas of southern Ohio and especially woodlands around the Hocking Hills. Here is an opportunity to expand with 108 acres purchased through the Arc of Appalachia. I am a member and have donated to this endeavor and highly encourage you to contribute as well. -- Scott M.

The property is too extraordinary. Lying in the heart of Hocking Hills, it boasts mature trees, deep hemlock ravines, and stunning rock formations. But to fully complete the campaign will require raising $435,000 before our closing date of September 1, 2020 - which is coming up fast. The video below speaks louder than words on why this property is so important. So please, watch the video, and then, read on.
