I am forwarding to each of you a link sent from Jack Shaner of the Ohio Environmental Council regarding the Division of Natural Areas and Preserves. I urge you to read it and respond according to your own choice. http://ga1.org/campaign/DNAP/isg3378407e6jiti? This has been crafted by an informal committee of concerned Ohio citizens which includes four former chiefs of the Division, several former staff members and leaders from other Ohio environmental groups. Please also feel free to forward this link as you feel appropriate. Bob Glotzhober (former chair of the former Ohio Natural Areas Council ==================== Robert C.
