2017 Annual Report

Cardinal Land Conservancy spent 2017 working hard for land preservation in southwest Ohio. Highlights include the addition of natural area preserves - Todd's Fork and Kope Hollow. Further, we continued our work to save a Hamilton County farm - Carriage House Farm - from becoming a gravel mine. We added one part-time staff person, Anna Carlson, and she has helped us tremendously with our application to become an Accredited Land Trust. It is so refreshing to work with someone who actually likes organizing, filing, and paperwork! Cardinal is proud to announce that we underwent a financial audit and that the CPA we worked with was able to report that we adhere to financial best practices. Finally we welcomed Jim Meyer and Garett Feldkamp to the Board, and gave our heartfelt thanks to Tim Mara and Jess Campbell for their board service.
