Wetlands and Native Grasses

Steve Jacks loves the outdoors.  As he drives around his Logan County property, he can tell you the history of the wetlands, trees, grasses, and wildlife seen throughout the years.  He speaks from a place of knowledge, having worked as a wildlife officer in the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Division for most of his adult life.  Now retired, Jacks does work part-time planting native grasses for Pheasants Forever.
