Save Ohio Parks is a social welfare organization founded by a group of Ohio citizens concerned about oil and gas extraction from our public lands ? especially our most treasured natural resource: our Ohio state parks, forests, and wildlife areas.

Ohio is a highly industrialized state, and our parks represent some of the last vestiges of untouched natural areas in the state. These lands were meant to be protected so that Ohioans can enjoy the bounties of nature for many generations. 

Whether we use our state parks for hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, or stargazing, we all benefit from protecting these and all Ohio public lands. We, the people of Ohio, pay for and use public lands, and we deserve a voice in what happens to them.
