Shooting club, conservancy look to preserve habitat Published by news@presspubli... on Fri, 03/05/2021 - 4:00pm By: Staff Writer Resolutions supporting a proposed conservation easement for natural habitat acreage in Erie Township have been approved by the trustees of Erie and Carroll townships and the Ottawa County commissioners. The Black Swamp Conservancy has been working with the Toussaint Shooting Club, which owns the land, to permanently maintain it in its natural condition, said Rob Krain, executive director of the BCS. Approximately 1,107 acres would be covered by the easement if it is approved. Krain said the BCS sought the resolutions of support to accompany an application for a grant from the Clean Ohio Green Space Conservation Program.
