***OHIO PAWPAW FESTIVAL OFFICIALLY CLOSED TODAY***

We experienced 2.3" of rain at Snow Fork last night and more to come. It's unfortunately very flooded, so we are canceling today to keep everyone safe... and dry (at some point)

We know you'll have questions. Please do continue to be kind and patient with us as we work through our tear-down and wrap up over the next several days, we promise to get respond to you ALL.

Thank you for such a wonderful two days. We appreciated your support at our new venue and loved seeing so many Pawpaw smiles!!

In Southeastern Ohio, the Athens Conservancy, in collaboration with OHIO’s Honors Tutorial College and the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service, is working to expand local capacity for land conservation.

With $49,000 in Sugar Bush Foundation support awarded to the Building Workforce Capacity for Land Protection in Southeastern Ohio project team, funding will be split among partners to create student internships and coursework opportunities that bring conservation practice out of the classroom and into the region.

By connecting conservation work with hands-on student learning, the collaborative partnership is helping strengthen both the region’s protected lands and the next generation of conservation professionals.
