Fantastic news! The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) yesterday opened a public scoping period to receive public input on 41 oil and gas parcels totaling 2,795 acres that may be included in a September 2026 lease sale in the Wayne National Forest (WNF) located in southeastern Ohio. This is the first lease sale held in WNF since March 2017 (the first Trump administration). The comment period ends Jan. 15, 2026. The properties up for lease are located in Monroe and Washington counties. We have the complete list of 41 parcels and a map of where they are located, below.
