Ohio's Oil and Gas Land Management Commission, under the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, will hold its next meeting on Monday, August 12, 2024, at 1 p.m.

During this meeting, the commission will discuss:

• Nominations to frack Egypt Valley Wildlife Area and Salt Fork State Park, as well as two parcels managed by the Ohio Department of Transportation
• Pending bids to frack Keen Wildlife Area as well as four parcels managed by the Ohio Department of Transportation

Ohio citizens pay for and use these public lands, and we need to turn out to this meeting to let the commissioners know that we do not want them to be fracked.

Please register in the form to the right if you can attend. We encourage you to bring children and youth to witness this proceeding and make their stake in the future of our Ohio parks and wildlife areas known. You are welcome to make signs and posters, but we will also be bringing some you can hold.

We have a carpool board where you can post your car or sign up for someone else's car, or for a waiting list: https://www.groupcarpool.com/t/g89axq

Thanks so much for considering this trip to Columbus for the commission meeting. We get only one week's notice for these meetings, and wanted to let you know as soon as we could.
