We need your shovel, sweat,
time and support to save our forest treasures!

Threatened and endangered plants in Wayne National Forest are soon to be bulldozed in preparation for paving the Highway 33 bypass around Nelsonville, Ohio.

Rural Action, Hocking College, and Frontier Natural Products Co-op are collaborating with the Wayne National Forest in an all-out effort to rescue these natural resources. Some rescued plants will be protected in holding beds for restoration projects in Wayne National Forest.

You can contribute to this effort in a variety of ways: commit to bring your shovel to rescue plants with us this fall (and get sweaty and dirty too!), commit to take the time to tell a friend about the project, or pledge to support the effort with a financial contribution. The New Frontier Foundation will match all donations dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000!

Phone
You can call Rural Action directly and sign up to work on a plant rescue team or pledge financial support. Contact Elise George at
740-742-4401, at the Rural Action Research and Education Center in Rutland, Ohio.
