Located near Zanesfield, Ohio, Kirkmont’s natural beauty, woodlands, streams, and open spaces provide an ideal setting for learning, exploration, and preservation efforts throughout Logan County.
Together, the Logan County Land Trust and Kirkmont Center share a commitment to protecting natural resources, inspiring environmental stewardship, and creating educational experiences that connect people to the land.
