Naturalist Aide - Ohio State ParksDescription
This embroidered round patch features a light orange background and dark orange border. Centered in the patch are the Great Seal of Ohio and a bald eagle. "Naturalist Aide" and "Ohio State Parks'" appears in blue letters on the light orange background around the seal.
The state of Ohio has had an official seal for more than 150 years. The current state seal was adopted by the state legislature in 1967 and modified in 1996. The seal illustrates Ohio's diverse geography. In the background stands Mount Logan in Ross County. Separating Mount Logan from the rest of the seal is the Scioto River. In the freshly harvested wheat field stands a wheat bushel, illustrating Ohio's important contributions to agriculture, arrows representing Ohio's place as the 17th state in the Union, and sun rays protruding outward, representing the original colonies.
