Welcome to LandScope Ohio
The LandScope America website is a work in progress. In addition to comprehensive nationwide information, like much of what you can already find via the map viewer, we will include extensive state-by-state information, found on state home pages like this one. Because Ohio is one of many states where we are still working to develop all of the needed maps, stories and other content, currently you’ll find only summary information here. For an example of completed state content, visit the home pages of our five pilot states: Colorado, Florida, Maine, Virginia and Washington.

Ohio Conservation Summary
Wrapping around the major industrial cities that for many characterize Ohio are a diversity of natural communities that face a grave threat from invasive plant and animal species, as well as from continuing agricultural, industrial and urban development. Conservation efforts are being mounted by an array of public agencies and private organizations to tackle these threats and protect Ohio's natural landscapes.

Ohio Wildlife Action Plan
Ohio enjoys a diverse wildlife community including healthy populations of white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, bald eagles, and numerous other game and wildlife species. The state's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy focuses on its wildlife, their habitat, and the people of the state. The plan approaches fish and wildlife conservation with diverse strategies that involve not only the state's Division of Wildlife, but also private landowners, conservation organizations, and other governmental agencies throughout Ohio.
