Columbus, Ohio— On Wednesday, February 20th, local advocacy
group Save Our Shawnee Forest (SOS) presented the Office of Governor
John Kasich with more than 3,300 surveys calling for a stop to the
state's clear cut logging of Shawnee State Forest.
"Shawnee has nearly 70,000 acres of the last, largest remnant of the
imperiled temperate forest in public ownership. It's being seriously
fragmented and degraded with logging activities. The state will never
have another contiguous, native forest property as large. Save it now
while we can," said SOS member Barbara Lund as the surveys were
delivered to the governor's office.
