Save the Mammals, a national proactive wildlife organization dedicated to animal heritage projects, this week announced its intention to reintroduce beavers in Ohio.
The feeder streams of the upper Scioto River, just south of Ada, are among four areas in Ohio under consideration for reintroduction of the once-common Scioto Marsh mammal.
The other three areas are Ripley, near the Ohio River in southwestern Ohio; Barnesville in southeastern Ohio; and a yet-to-be named area in northeastern Ohio.
The end of March and early-April calendar is full of activities at Ada schools. Here's an update of activities from the school website.
