The Stream + Wetlands Foundation is proud to have established Sandy Ridge Wetlands Mitigation Bank at this park site in 1997. The park opened to the public in 1999 and since that time, it has become very popular with the community as a great location to observe wildlife, including many bird species. Find out more about the recent  owl sightings at Sandy Ridge Reservation by reading this article in The Morning Journal.

Portsmouth Bypass Opens To Traffic

On Friday, December 14, a new four-lane, divided highway around the City of Portsmouth, Ohio opened to drivers. This 16-mile stretch of highway connects U.S. 52 near Wheelersburg, West Virginia to U.S. 23 near Lucasville, Ohio. The Stream + Wetlands Foundation is proud to be part of this important project. S + W teamed with Wetlands Resource Center (WRC) and provided the compensatory mitigation for stream impacts associated with the project. In all, four mitigation sites in Scioto County were utilized to fulfill the stream mitigation needs. These sites permanently protected more than 900 acres which included protection, restoration and/or enhancement for more than 72,000 feet of streams.
