The ONAPA was formed on June 29, 2012 as a 501(c)(3) statewide organization established for the sole purpose of promoting, protecting and improving Ohio’s natural areas and preserves.
Numerous Volunteer Opportunities are available with this organization. See Map of Preserve Locations below.
"We are dedicated to promoting, protecting and improving Ohio natural areas and preserves for educational, charitable, and scientific purposes."
Membership in the Ohio Natural Areas & Preserves Association is open to all individuals and organizations throughout our state. Members have the option of being passive supporters of the natural areas movement or very active volunteers directly engaged in habitat management, monitoring, and research projects on natural areas and dedicated state preserves.
In general, the main role of the association is to (1) help establish and support local nature preserve friends groups throughout Ohio for both state and non-state natural areas, (2) provide a support group for the sustainable management of state nature preserves as well as other natural areas around the state, (3) educate, promote and advance natural areas issues within the Ohio General Assembly as well as with the general public, and (4) promote the protection of rare species of plants and animals and rare ecosystems.
