Volunteers needed
Protecting the widespread Darby watershed is becoming an increasingly difficult task. DCA has become involved in many initiatives to educate and advocate for stream protection, requiring a greater and greater demand on members’ time.
If you or someone you know would like to become more involved, numerous opportunities exist to make a difference.
Members are encouraged to attend meetings or contact trustees to find out ways to help. Every effort is important, whether it is making a call to an elected representative, writing a letter, or participating in public meetings or other activities. Call John Tetzloff at 276-4550 for more information.
Darby Creek Day
It’s that time of year again: the time when Darby supporters and the public gather at Battelle-Darby Metro Park (Indian Ridge section) for "Darby Creek Day," a celebration of Darby’s natural wonders. The date: October 6. The time: 1-4 p.m.
Activities will include electro-shocking for fish, searching for mussels, hiking, canoeing, fly-fishing demonstrations, and spear throwing with replicas of Native American atlatls. Exhibitors will include DCA, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Nature Conservancy, the Ohio State University, local schools, the Sierra Club, the Smallmouth Bass Alliance, and others.
The event is co-sponsored by Metro Parks and DCA, and always makes for an memorable afternoon.
