Description

The words Department of Natural Resources, Ohio, and Division of Civilian Conservation are all embroidered in brown. The patch is bordered in the same green as the central image. In 1977 the Office of Civilian Conservation was formed. On August 15, 1979, it officially became the Division of Civilian Conservation with the enactment of House Bill 565.
