2007 Annual Report

Success in protecting, managing, and using Ohio’s soil, water, and land resources is a real team effort.

In this year’s annual report we want to recognize that success ultimately boils down to conscientious efforts made by individual people. People who realize that even as a user of our natural resources, they must also be a steward of those resources.

We are privileged to be able to work with so many conscientious people, in rural and agricultural areas, and in every community in Ohio, urban and rural. We work hard to make our assistance helpful and meaningful. We feel fortunate to be on your team. Click here to download a copy.
