A primary reason for this event is to expose people to one of the most wonderful natural regions remaining in Ohio. The Shawnee Forest and the neaby Edge of Appalachia preserve collectively contain nearly 4/5th of all the flora and fauna found in the state. Furthermore, because of the extent of these areas - 60,000+ acres in Shawnee; 15,000 in the edge of Appalachia- the region has a true wilderness flavor not found many other places in the state. Protection of Shawnee and the Edge is critical to conserving a huge piece of Midwestern biodiversity, and providing Ohioans with an area where they can go to experience true wild lands. |
