It's here - Ohio's earliest wildflower, skunk cabbage! You can find these stinky wildflowers in swampy, wet areas. They've been spotted at Cedar Bog & Christmas Rocks state nature preserves. Skunk cabbage can produce heat as it blooms, allowing it to emerge through snow & ice! 😮

Lake Erie has 9,910 square miles of surface water & has more consumable fish than all other Great Lakes combined! Also, 12 million people rely on Lake Erie for drinking water! Thanks to the @H2Ohio initiative, we're on our way to a cleaner, healthier lake for everyone! #H2Ohio

Why are wetlands so important? 🤷 They trap pollutants like phosphorus and heavy metals that would otherwise end up in Lake Erie. Wetlands with healthy native plants soak up carbon. In fact, these plants can absorb 50 TIMES MORE carbon than a rainforest in similar size! 💦 WOW!

It is National Save the Eagle Day! Our @OhioDivWildlife takes saving the eagle very seriously. Thanks to their work, the Bald Eagle population in Ohio has gone from 4 nesting pairs in 1979 to more than 300 this year! Eagles are very active this month so #getoutside find some!

Did you know that an acre of wetland can store 1–1.5 million gallons of floodwater? That's cleaner water for everyone! We’re celebrating #WorldWaterDay with a look at all the good being done by Gov. DeWine’s @H2Ohio Initiative. @OhioEPA @OhioDeptofAg

Fish need oxygen to survive 🐟 The harmful algal blooms at Lake Erie absorb all the dissolved oxygen in the water, causing dead zones where fish can’t survive. Wetlands remove excess nutrients in the water that fuel harmful algal blooms, allowing fish to thrive in Lake Erie.

Join us today at 10 am to learn about the American Eagle 🦅. Once endangered, this large bird of prey has made a fantastic rebound in Ohio. Don’t be surprised if a live bald eagle makes an appearance too! @OhioDivWildlife @OhioStateParks #eagle
