A mile-and-a-half strip of riverbed is now owned by the Black Swamp Conservancy for protection and long-term enjoyment by northwest Ohioans. The 226 acres, on the Little Auglaize River in Paulding County, is now a wildlife reserve. The Conservancy says it plans to remove invasive species, enhance forested habitat cover and create public access areas on the property and riverfront.
