Common Ground is the result of those efforts. This report examines the protection of natural areas, farmland and urban properties in a 14-county region, current trends in land preservation and the challenges facing our region as we move forward. It also contains stories about some of northern Ohio’s conservation milestones and success stories. The report was a collaborative, regional effort assisted by the many groups and agencies that supplied data and an advisory board that helped determine the focus of the publication. Publication of the report was coordinated by Western Reserve Land Conservancy. Support provided by The Alton F. and Carrie S. Davis Fund The Sandra L. & Dennis B. Haslinger Family Foundation
