⏳ Last Chance to Make an Impact in 2025!
Our year-end campaign ends TODAY at 4:00 PM, and we’re still far from our $7,000 goal.

Your gift supports scholarships, Camp Canopy, and conservation education programs—and helps us sponsor opportunities like the Forest Management and Products Proficiency Award, which we proudly brought back this year.
Meet Grady Hawkins, who placed third at the 2025 Ohio FFA Convention and received this award:
"My SAE (Supervised Agriculture Experience) involves working at my family's sawmill, Rick Hawkins Lumber, where I cut trees, survey trees, and stack lumber. I plan to continue working there after high school and one day running the business."

✅ Give now before 4:00 PM—and remember: Your donation is tax-deductible if made by December 31! www.ohioforest.org/page/Foundation
