The Wilds was opened to the public in 1994 and spans nearly 10,000 acres of reclaimed, surface-mined land -- a gift from American Electric Power to advance wildlife conservation and biodiversity. Thousands of acres have been developed and divided into large sections where African, Asian, and North American species find a unique place in Ohio to call home.
