As the Director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, I am excited to bring you real life learning opportunities about resource conservation and outdoor recreation.

This site brings to life what we do and how we do it at ODNR and provides resources for developing lesson plans in science, language arts and career education.

Select from the resource modules at the left to discover how our scientists, writers, researchers, naturalists, engineers, law enforcers and resource managers strive to conserve Ohio's natural resources and provide outdoor recreational opportunities for all Ohioans.
