About The Property
 The
Nettle Creek Wildlife Project is a diverse, privately owned
130 acres. Located in Williams County, Ohio. This property
is located, adjacent to Nettle Lake, Ohio's largest natural
lake. Besides 30-pluc acres of old fields, there are
approximately 80 acres of woods, with the balance of acres
being open swamp and brush land. nettle Creek also passes
through it, which is the outlet for Nettle Lake.
To the best of my knowledge in the county, I
believe this to be the number three of the individually
owned woods, in the county, in both acres and
board feet of lumber. Being surpassed only, easily by the
Boy Scout Camp, and the Lake La Su An Wildlife area, only. Click

Through preservation and restoration I hope to keep and
protect this land, so many generations can come and learn,
about the connection we all share, with every living thing,
and how fragile the bond we have with our earth is.
Human Impact
Much like most of the country , the impact from the
settling in the Nettle Lake area was tremendous. Most of the
changes to this area cannot be undone with any amount of
restoration, and this property is no exception.
Even I, through firewood cutting, have opened miles of
truck trails. Still preservation from future heavy impact
will be important.
This property is very diverse, with access made easy by
all of the trails. Having close proximity with other rich
and vital wildlife areas, such as Nettle Lake and Lake La
Su, a wildlife area. This would be a great property to use
for education and for experiencing nature.
