The Hartford Fair Natural Resources Area provides fun, free and educational programs related to wise use of our natural resources. Located next to the campground and horse parking area, the Natural Resources Area includes a pond and fishing dock, wetland and stream, pavilion and walking paths, and many native plant demonstration gardens.
Its mission is to build a sustainable natural resources program celebrating Ohio’s natural heritage, that is supported by local conservation partners and organizations, in order to provide educational, recreational, and interactive conservation experiences during the Hartford Fair and at other outdoor events.
Programs and activities are carried out by an advisory committee with representatives from the Hartford Fair Board, Licking County Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalists, Licking County Recycling, Licking County Soil & Water Conservation District, Licking Park District and community members.
