1. Sport Fish & Wildlife Restoration Marker

Inscription.
Ohio has a rich outdoor heritage that is enjoyed by all and funded largely by sportsmen and women through the federal aid in wildlife and sport fish restoration programs. Annually, close to $400 millions of dollars are dedicated to fish and wildlife restoration, research, education, and recreational access projects across the country.

These efforts have resulted in millions of acres of habitat saved and significant population increases for game and sport fish species, some of which had nearly disappeared from the state, now being routinely enjoyed by hunters, anglers, and wildlife enthusiasts.
