Ohio Watershed Leaders participants attend a session on tree identification.The third-annual Ohio Watershed Leaders (OWLS) workshop was held August 26 and 27, 2004, at the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center located in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Approximately 50 watershed coordinators, agency professionals, and watershed group partners attended the workshop, which featured educational sessions as well as the opportunity to meet with peers. This 2-day workshop was coordinated by the Extension Educators in Watershed Management and sponsored by Ohio State University Extension, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Division of Soil and Water Conservation, and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.

During the first day, participants took part in ice-breaking activities and educational sessions on greenways, organizational development, and tree identification. They also had a presentation by Stan Gehrt (Extension Specialist, Wildlife) on coyote behavior. On the second day, participants had their choice of a bike trip, nature hike, or tour of a brook trout restoration area. See additional information and photos on these activities.
