Ale's Run State Wildlife Management Area, OH

Working with B&N Coal, the Ohio Department of Natural Resource's Division of Wildlife and the Wild Turkey Federation, the Fund purchased 2,905 acres of rolling hardwood forest and meadows. These reclaimed Ohio coal lands now provide a highly productive habitat for white-tailed deer, ruffed grouse and turkey. With this addition, the Fund has acquired nearly 50,000 acres for the Division of Wildlife - just about half of the Ohio's present holdings.
