Congratulations, Jack!
Congratulations to Ohio Wildlife Center Honorary Trustee Jack Hanna for 40 years of incredible work supporting wildlife here in Ohio and across the globe. He has been an advocate for wildlife in wild places for decades, but he has never forgotten that the wildlife in our own backyards is vitally important. Hanna has been an ad-hoc member of our Board of Trustees since 2012. He supported the late Dr. Don Burton in the early formation of Ohio Wildlife Center, and he is a dear friend of our organization.
