For generations, Raven Rocks has been a favorite place for hikes and outings. “The Raven Rocks,” as old-timers called the largest and most accessible of its dramatic ravines and rock formations, have been the chief attraction. That seems to have been true at least as far back as the year 760 A.D., when, according to Kent State University archaeologists, Indians began a 200-year period of regular use of the Raven Rocks for what appear to have been ceremonial purposes.

There are over 45,000 Christmas trees in production at Raven Rocks through a cooperative land use project with the sales of the Christmas trees contributing money to maintain and expand the project.

Besides paying for the purchase of the original land, volunteer labor is used to carry our reforestation, erosion control, rehabilitation of worn field and a variety of land and building maintenance work.

Members of Raven Rocks, Inc., do not necessarily live on or even near the property. Some live more than 400 miles away in North Carolina.

An effort has been made to select approaches and products which seem most likely to prove superior in terms of appropriateness and quality and then to learn how to make the best use and application of them.
