Benefit for Buckeye Forest Council (BFC)
BFC Board Member and all around super woman, Donna Carver, is known
far and wide for wearing high heels -- everywhere. Including when she is
taking on Big Oil and Gas bullies and stomping through fields to
photograph leaking toxic waste wells threatening to pollute Ohio's
drinking water and harm her community.
Donna will be climbing a tree, yes in high heels, to raise money to
benefit BFC so we may continue our work to protect Ohio's native forests
and their inhabitants. We address the broader threats to climate,
ecological and human health from dirty energy.
Please make a donation to help Donna reach her goal of $7,500 and be able to come down from her perch.

Ohio Community Groups Join Growing Number Calling “Fracking Peace Deal” Bogus
Columbus, Ohio- A growing movement of grassroots community groups in
Ohio released a statement today, which accompanied a letter sent
directly to the Center for Sustainable Shale Development (CSSD), calling
the “peace” reached by the Oil and Gas industry and environmental
groups a complete fabrication.
The letter, sent by hundreds of citizens and community groups, stated,
“We are in fact quite insulted that you (CSSD), presume to speak for
Ohio citizens and Ohio environmental organizations. To date we have not
found even one organization in our state that had any knowledge of this
agreement, even though you have been working on it for the past two
years. If indeed you have been working or communicating with
environmental organizations in Ohio, please provide us with the name(s)
of these organizations.”

BFC - Sister City Press Conferences Held Today. To: USEPA, Suspend Ohio Department of Natural Resources Oil and Gas Injection Well Program. Citizens have lost faith in agencies ability to protect our health.
March 18, 2013 (Columbus,
Youngstown, Athens, Stark Counties)- Today, Ohio citizens and citizens’ groups and state and national
organizations held sister city press conferences to request that the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), perform a full audit and
investigation of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Underground
Injection Control (UIC) program. Our request stems, in part, from the recent
state and federal investigations launched into the illegal dumping of liquid
oil and gas waste into a storm drain emptying into an unnamed tributary of the
Mahoning River in Youngstown, Ohio by Mr. Ben Lupo, his employees, and
associates.

BFC Supports Save our Shawnee Forest
GOVERNOR KASICH'S OFFICE PRESENTED WITH THOUSANDS OF PETITIONS CALLING FOR END TO STATE CLEAR-CUTS
Video link to NBC4
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.
