Plum Run Prairie Preserve Holds the Key to Ohio’s Ecological History
Ah, the forgotten dance of the Ohio prairies – a mesmerizing waltz of resilience and vulnerability, preservation and destruction. Nestled within the verdant bounds of Adams County lies the Plum Run Prairie Preserve, a living testament to nature's cyclical ballet. The 140-acre oasis stands as a rare fragment of Ohio's primordial landscape, a piece of history imbued with ecological grandeur and fragility.
Wildflowers at Hocking Hills
Hocking Hills is one of my favorite go-to places in Ohio because of its landform dominated by caves, cliffs, rock shelters, and waterfalls. On my most recent trip, I turned my photographic focus to its diverse springtime wildflowers at Ash Cave, around the western shores of Rose Lake, along a tributary of East Fork of Queer Creek, and within the sheltered canyon at Conkles Hollow.
