From our lakes and rivers to our wetlands and forests, Ohio’s natural landscapes sustain a remarkable diversity of life and reflect a deep history of culture and recreation. Join us as Bill Stanley, State Director of The Nature Conservancy in Ohio, shares insight into the innovative conservation work happening across our state.

Did you know that scattered throughout Ohio are areas with their own distinctive microclimates? How are these special places being affected by climate change—or could their unique conditions offer some protection? Discover what TNC’s research reveals, and learn about other extraordinary projects helping to preserve Ohio’s lands and waters for generations to come.

Bill Stanley has been with The Nature Conservancy for over 20 years, currently serving as the state director.  He believes that it is not only possible to have thriving economies, rich cultural opportunities and preserved natural communities, but that these are mutually supportive.  Prior to joining TNC, Bill directed the Global Climate Change Initiative, where he led forest carbon science research in support of projects that help to eliminate carbon pollution and designed approaches to reduce the threats posed by sea level rise, weather variability, and climate change.
