Once training is completed, members volunteer 40 hours the first year teaching the values of Ohio’s natural resources to others in area parks. Re-certification the following year requires eight hours of advanced training and volunteering an additional 20 hours. Cost is $150.00, which includes OCVN Manual, and resource publications.
