Ohio's ODNR and the University of Dayton have begun tracking a female black bear with a GPS collar, aiming to study the species' reemergence and movements in the state.

The ODNR is considering restructured waterfowl hunting zones in Ohio for 2026-2030, and public input is sought before a final decision by the Ohio Wildlife Council.

ODNR unveiled a marker at Jesse Owens State Park honoring Big Muskie, the world's largest dragline. The landmark reflects on Ohio's mining history and environmental progress.
