We recently shared about the protection of 128-acres along the Walhonding River in Coshocton County through a partnership with Western Reserve Land Conservancy

To celebrate this conservation milestone, the Western Reserve Land Conservancy commissioned the beautiful painting featured here and presented it to MWCD with this message:

"Western Reserve Land Conservancy is pleased to present this painting to Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District to commemorate the lasting partnership forged between our two entities. We are extremely grateful for the invaluable collaboration that will continue to benefit the communities we serve for generations to come."

We've seen some questions regarding the hydrogen sulfide warning at Atwood Lake and want to provide clarification.

Hydrogen sulfide is a naturally occurring gas that can develop in deep water when oxygen levels are low. As water is released through the dam, the gas can be released immediately downstream of the outflow, which is why warning signs have been posted in that specific area.

The main body of Atwood Lake, including recreational areas such as the marina, swim beach, and boating areas, is not included in this advisory.

The area immediately adjacent to the downstream discharge at Atwood Lake has been closed and will remain closed until monitors determine the area is safe.

Potential hydrogen sulfide concerns near Atwood Lake have prompted a closure around the outlet works and discharge area.

Over the last couple years we have all enjoyed gathering together for Country Waves. It's been a great event, and we look forward to continuing that momentum.

Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen challenges we are going pause Country Waves this fall and put all of our efforts into hosting an amazing event in the late Summer of 2027. We are working on an artist announcement which we will deliver very soon, and we have already begun our planning. It's going to an event to remember!

Thank you for your continued support, patience, and enthusiasm for Country Waves. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for an incredible night of great music, great memories, and a great show in 2027. Stay tuned for updates!
