Ohio’s public lands, and the decisions deciding them.
Every open federal comment window that touches Ohio, in plain English. Comment on the official record, call your delegation, and make it a habit.
Who speaks for Ohio on public lands
Public-lands grades come from our Congressional Scorecard: every roll-call vote that decides the fate of parks, forests, and refuges. A call from a constituent carries real weight.
Open in Ohio right now
Nothing names Ohio specifically today. The nationwide rules below still decide what happens on Ohio’s federal land, and the alert form will tell you the moment something closer to home opens.
Nationwide decisions that include Ohio
Stop opening 14.10 square nautical miles of protected coral habitat to trawling
NOAA proposes reopening 14.10 square nautical miles of the Oculina Bank Habitat Area of Particular Concern to rock shrimp trawling, on the same boundary it disapproved in 2022 for failing to protect essential fish habitat and minimize bycatch.
