Natural Treasures of Ohio

With the help of many partners, The Nature Conservancy in Ohio launched an exciting promotion called Natural Treasures of Ohio that is aimed at encouraging Ohio families to get outside this summer and explore the state’s many wonderful natural areas.  The grand prize is a Honda Insight Hybrid, and secondary prizes include five $500 gift cards from REI.  Go to nature.org/naturaltreasuresohio or facebook.com/ohionatureconservancy and find one or more of 30 places around the state that have been identified as Natural Treasures of Ohio.  To enter, take a photo of yourself with the designated landmark at a site and upload it to the website.  You get a chance to win for each site you visit ‘“ up to 30 chances.  In addition to entering the sweepstakes, participants are encouraged to explore the properties through a series of fun, family-friendly activities which can also be found online.  Activities range from an adventurous game of “I Spy” in the Windows of Wildlife viewing area at Toledo’s Side Cut Metropark to a leisurely stroll through Cincinnati’s Mount Airy Forest arboretum.  See the website for more details.
