Rutherford Wetland
<p>The Rutherford Wetland includes the Ora E. Anderson Nature Trail. This wetland is 20 acres and is located on the Athens Ranger District, just west of the community of Carbon Hill in eastern Hocking County, Ohio. When it was suggested that we could provide wildlife viewing opportunity by developing a half-mile accessible foot trail in collaboration with partners and the local community, the Forest elected to develop the trail in honor of Ora E. Anderson. The project includes interpretive panels featuring some of the poems from Anderson with illustrations by local artist, Barbara Sheriff Kostohyrz. <a href="http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5068407.pdf">For a brochure of the trail click here</a>.</p><p>Test your knowledge of nature with a <a href="http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3837099.pdf">nature quiz</a> as you hike the trail. For answers after you've completed the trail refer to this <a href="http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3837101.pdf">online answer sheet</a>.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
