2010 Barn Tour logo The Owl Creek Conservancy was happy to collaborate with the Knox County Renaissance Foundation to present the Knox County Barn Tour in June 2010. The event was more successful than ever and was enjoyed by hundreds from Knox and surrounding counties. Click here for more information on the Barn Tour. Details about the 2012 Barn Tour are coming soon.
The Owl Creek Conservancy is gratified to have the support of the Ariel Foundation for our Aquifer Recharge Project, which will protect 273 acres of the aquifer recharge area for the water supply of the city of Mount Vernon, the Village of Gambier and Clinton Township. Additionally, this conservation easement will help assure flood storage capacity on 186 acres of the flood plain, preserve 169 acres of farmland, and maintain or improve the water quality in the Kokosing River. The ecological importance of this area of Knox County cannot be overstated, and we are grateful to the Ariel Foundation and all our members who so generously donated to the Project.
