If you have been following our Citizen Science Project, The Muskingum County Reptile and Amphibian Survey, you re aware of the success of the 2016 survey. A total of 306 animals reported, 39 species, 9 county records and over 250 people that participated in the first year of the project. The good news is, we are conducting the survey again in We are already getting salamander and frog records a full month earlier than last year. If you are interested in learning more about these animals in Muskingum County, visit the District website, for more information about the survey, and to download a free field guide. We are also looking for volunteers to help with several monitoring projects, if you are interested, please e -mail me directly at nicole.hafer@muskingumswcd.org for information. So, how can you participate in our survey? Just take a couple of photos of the animal, note where exactly you found it (GPS coordinates if possible) and send to us via one of the following methods: 1. Our Facebook page, The Muskingum County Reptile and Amphibian Survey, and make sure to like our page for survey updates; 2. the information to me at nicole.hafer@muskingumswcd.org; 3. Check out our project on the inaturalist app, a free app for iphone and Android; or 4. Print them off the old-fashioned way and drop them off at the office. If you have any questions about the survey, or reptiles and amphibians in general, feel free to e- mail me at the above address, or call the office at (740) Spring Amphibian Program at McGraw-Edison Park Saturday, April 29 th 6:30 PM Bring your headlamp and wear your rain boots to prepare for a fun evening adventure in search of amphibians at McGraw-Edison Park! Spring is the only time of the year to see many of the amazing frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts found in Ohio. We will start with a short presentation on amphibians including live animals, then gear up and head to the wetland in search of animals that have entered the vernal pools to breed. Since these animals are largely nocturnal, we will be searching after dark, so please bring a flashlight or headlamp and prepare to get wet! Amphibians love rainy nights, so this is a rain or shine event! If you have questions, please contact Nicole Hafer, Education/Wildlife Specialist with the Muskingum Soil and Water Conservation District at , or nicole.hafer@muskingumswcd.org.

Crappie feed on small fish and insects much like the bluegill and are able to eat a little larger fish. Bluegill 2-4 They are found throughout the state in nearly every stream and body of water. Bluegill reach 7 to 10 inches, but if they become overcrowded, will remain less then 5 inches in length. Best fish for forage because of their high reproduction numbers. Channel Catfish 4-5 Found in most large streams, lakes and many farm ponds, this Ohio native can tolerate a wide range of conditions, but prefers areas of deep water, and a low to moderate current. The average size catfish is 12 to 14 inches in length. Fathead Minnows 1-2 Minnows are a feeder fish that tolerate a wide range of water conditions, making them suitable for farm ponds. Recommended in new ponds to help boost growth of game fish until bluegill begin to spawn. Hybrid Bluegill 2-4 A cross of a male bluegill and female green sunfish, giving it the length of bluegill and thickness and aggressiveness of sunfish. If the food is there, they reach the size of 10 to Japanese Koi Japanese Koi love to eat duckweed so if you reduce the amount of food you give them it will encourage them to eat the duckweed $6/ $11 Largemouth Bass 2-3 Native to Ohio, largemouth bass prefer ponds, lakes and slow, sluggish streams. Adult bass eat crayfish, frogs, large insects and other fish. Average size weighs from 1 to 2 pounds.

White Amur 8-10 Also known as grass carp, they eat weeds and plants and grow very rapidly. White Amur often attain 4 feet in length and weigh pounds as adults. Amur used for weed control are sterile, triploid fish that eat up to three times their own body weight. Yellow Perch 2-3 Native to Ohio, Perch are found in lakes, ponds and slow moving rivers. Yellow perch normally range from 6 to 12 inches in length and weigh from 1/4 to 1 pound.

For Example: 0.65 Acre Pond 0.65 X 1000 (Minnows) = 650 Minnows *10 White Amur $13 85 Stocking recommendations for a new one acre pond *Suggested rate for one acre pond with moderate pond weed problem. New ponds should not be stocked unless pond weeds exist (moderate = 50% infestation).

7 2017 Pollinator Plant Sale In an on-going effort to promote the establishment of pollinator habitat, the Muskingum Soil and Water Conservation District (MSWCD) is again offering various berry plants and a pollinator seed mix for sale. Proceeds from the sale benefit the college internship scholarship program. Worldwide, animals pollinate approximately 80% of the crop plants that are grown for food, forage, fibers, and medicines. Billions of dollars of our economy, not to mention most of what we eat, is based on pollinated crops. Recent years have seen a decline in the overall pollinator population due to diseases, loss of habitat, and improper use of insecticides/pesticides. Pollinators are not just butterflies and bees, but also include moths, hummingbirds, beetles, flies, and even bats. Any area of habitat we provide, no matter how small, will help provide nectar and pollen to support these vital members of our world. The plants for sale have been selected for their attraction to pollinators, so please be advised that bees will be attracted to these same plants. All of the plants are deer resistant, meaning that they are not the first plants the deer will clean off your property. The berries are all hardy, easy to grow canes that come from a nursery in Michigan, so they will be winter-hardy to our area. Orders are being taken for a limited number of plants on a first come-first serve basis. Orders will be taken until April 24 or until the plants are sold out. Order forms are available at the office, in this newsletter, or on-line at Payment must be submitted with the order.

We will notify you by postcard or when the plants and/or seeds can be picked up. You must pick up your plants on the specified date because we do not have a place to keep the plants. The plants are small (2-4 pots). There are no refunds or exchanges and we reserve the right to make substitutions. All sales are final. Berries are sold in bundles of three of one type of plant.

9 For a number of years now, the MSWCD has sponsored a Big Tree Contest in Muskingum County. The purpose of the contest, in addition to locating, measuring and documenting our county s big trees, is to provide an opportunity to remind us of the importance of trees and their role in our quality of life. Trees nominated for this contest may be on your own property, or on other privately owned or public land in Muskingum County. Trees are scored using a format utilized by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Division of Forestry in determining Ohio s big trees, many of which remain National Big Tree Champions. The tree s height, average crown spread, and Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) are factored in this measurement, earning specific points or values. When you nominate a tree, we ask that you approximate these dimensions. SWCD staff will measure each nominated tree for points. Also, it is very important to be specific as to the location of the nominated tree. It is equally important that the nominator or owner be available for the measurement by the staff during the field visit. An award will be presented to the owner of the largest tree in Muskingum County, regardless of species. A custom made plaque and recognition in the District Newsletter will be awarded to the owners of the Big Tree Last year, a Sycamore, owned by Russ Downing, scored points. This points total was calculated by adding the circumference in inches (210 inches or 5.57 feet in diameter), the height (90 feet) and the crown spread average times.25 (94 ft x.25). tree entered is in the contest for two years. Previous big tree winners can enter again, but a different tree must be submitted for consideration. If you would like to submit a tree for consideration, complete the form below and return by April 28, Owner's Name: Address: City, State, Zip: Draw a brief sketch of the property showing the approximate location of the tree in the space provided below, or stop into the office and show us on an aerial map. Daytime Phone: Nominator's Name: Daytime Phone: Species: Circumference at 4 1/2 (in inches): Approx.
