Mohican-Memorial State Forest

Mohican-Memorial State Forest in Ohio developed from badly worn-out farmland acquired beginning in 1928 into a multi-use conservation landscape and place of remembrance. Reforestation became a central goal, and in the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps planted about two million native trees while building roads, bridges, trails, shelters, fire breaks, and fire towers. The forest now supports research, seed production, recreation, forestry, watershed protection, and wildlife management across varied woodland and river terrain shaped by the Clear Fork River, Pine Run, and the Mohican River. Within it, Memorial Forest Shrine Park honors 20,000 Ohio soldiers who died in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf War.
