Help save our land, water,and wildlife in the lower Muskingum watershed.
Wilson Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary
Directions:
From Marietta, go north on SR 7 approximately 32 miles, through New Matamoras. Continue past North Fork Road and Hutchison Road, and just after entering Monroe County, turn left on Earley Ridge Road. This is a very narrow and steep township road. Go 2.1 miles and the property is on the right, across from junction with Hutchison Road. This is the shortest way. Alternate route: From SR 7 turn left on North Fork Road (Twp 66), which is the second road to the left after New Matamoras. At top of ridge go right at “Y” on Earley Ridge Road. Property corner and oil well access road are on the left across from junction with Hutchison Road.
Property Description:
Property is a wildlife sanctuary- used for bird watching, hiking, passive use, open to public for these purposes. Timber will never be harvested-only vegetation management will be removal of non-native invasive species so that in 100 years this will be an example of mature forest appropriate for native wildlife.

Trail work continues at Luke Chute Conservation Area. Today Doug and I cleared and marked more of the Box Elder trail. With any luck, we'll get the final section cleared and marked by end of the month! ...
To control some of the undesirable plants, like trees, Ty brush hogs the pollinator habitat every fall. But as you can see, we still have flowers and pollinators so our management seems to be working. ...
If you are on the trails and see these blue stumps, it means Doug and other volunteers have been hard at work controlling the misnamed Tree of Heaven. The blue is herbicide that kills the tree and prevents regrowth. Why are we killing healthy trees? Because tree of heaven is invasive, crowds out native trees, and is host to the invasive spotted lanternfly. ...
