  1. Workshop to Spotlight Whole-system Solutions to Nutrient Runoff, Water Issues

    Sep 12, 2014

    A first-ever workshop in Ohio is bringing together farmers, scientists and other stakeholders to discuss whole-system solutions to the Midwest’s nutrient runoff and water problems.  Organizers say the Sept. 14-16 program, called Healthy Soils for Healthy Waters, will focus on state-of-the-art best management practices for reducing fertilizer runoff into the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins. The two basins include all of Ohio and most of the Midwest.

  2. Leaves in Absence? How to ID Trees in Winter

    Mar 5, 2014

    CHARDON, Ohio -- The trees in Chardon’s Big Creek Park will still be bare at the end of March.

The program will focus on bark, fruit, twigs and other telltale traits. “This is an advanced class for individuals who are familiar with using a dichotomous key,” said Kathy Smith, one of the instructors and a forestry specialist with Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. “Identifying trees without leaves can be a real challenge.”
