The Wayne County Ikes were organized in 1932. We currently own and protect over 275 acres of woods and streams. We are registered as Tree Farm Number 1 in Ohio. Our conservationist membership includes hunters, fishers, birders, campers, hikers and wildflower enthusiasts. Chapter activities include monthly meetings with conservation programs, plus social functions such as the annual chicken barbeque, Christmas dinner, haunted forest and others. We support students pursuing careers in outdoor fields through several scholarship programs. The chapter provides hunter safety classes and also offers free assisted hunting on the chapter grounds for any limited mobility deer hunter.

We encourage members to bring guests to our property but guests must be with a member at all times. It is suggested that if a guest is routinely coming to the property, consideration of membership would be appreciated.  The use of our property for camping and hunting are restricted to members of the Wayne County Chapter only; guests are not allowed for these activities.
