[Ocees] Fwd: Urgent News: Help us save 108 acres next to Ash Cave!

[Scott M Moody]

Many of us, perhaps all of us, have enjoyed the natural areas of southern
Ohio and especially woodlands around the Hocking Hills.  Here is an
opportunity to expand with 108 acres purchased through the Arc of
Appalachia.  I am a member and have donated to this endeavor and highly
encourage you to contribute as well.

*Rarely does the Arc of Appalachia announce an emergency land campaign.
This one, however, is urgent...*

*Here is our Quest to Save 108 acres in Hocking Hills - directly adjacent
to Ash Cave State Park*

*Announcing a campaign to purchase Ash Cave Eastern Reserve*

       It would have been prudent to ignore the *For Sale* sign on OH-56,
just east of Ash Cave, but we just couldn't make ourselves do it. The
property is too extraordinary. Lying in the heart of Hocking Hills, it
boasts mature trees, deep hemlock ravines, and stunning rock formations.
But to fully complete the campaign will require raising $435,000 before
our closing date of September 1, 2020 - which is coming up fast. The video
below speaks louder than words on why this property is so important. So
please, watch the video, and then, read on.

Imagine being able to walk from Ash Cave Eastern Reserve all the way to Ash
Cave and back - without ever having to cross private property. Check out
the map below.
Below is a photo of the largest of the rock shelters on Ash Cave Eastern
Reserve.

Hemlock trees hug *the rocks *and fill the lower elevations of the
property's steep ravines.

*FRIENDS, WE CAN DO THIS!!!  *When enough like-minded people combine their
wills behind a project, we can move mountains (or save them, more
appropriately). Please, give what you can, and just as importantly, pause a
moment to reflect on how you can use your own circle of influence to bring
this project into the awareness of others. You will find this post on the
Arc's social media, so please, pass it on. Let's get the word out so this
project goes viral. *(Sorry, going viral may be a bad analogy during the
COVID-19 epidemic!!!) *

Warmly, Nancy Stranahan, Director, Arc of Appalachia
