Strait Creek and Green Township Hunting Permit Application Details

The Nature Conservancy provides limited deer hunting for applicants who are permanent residents of land immediately adjacent to the hunting areas in Strait Creek Preserve and to permanent residents of Green Township. In addition to other information, applicants applying for a hunting permit for Strait Creek or Green Township must provide the address and exact parcel number of their permanent residence. Applicants may be asked to supply proof of residency. Applicants who fail to provide this information will not be considered. This permit application process will be open through December 22, 2025.

Approved hunting permits along with property maps and associated information will be emailed approximately 2 weeks after applications are submitted through this page.

An email confirmation of this application will be sent after submission. Please make sure your email is entered properly. If you do not receive an email after filling out this application, an incorrect email may have been entered.

AN APPLICATION IS REQUIRED, AND HUNTING PERMITS ARE LIMITED.

By submitting an application through this process, you agree to the following conditions. On the next page, you will be asked to check a box to confirm that you have read and agree to these conditions.

Conditions: The Hunter and Minor Guest shall abide by the following conditions and restrictions at all times:

  • The Hunter and Minor Guest must comply with all local, state and federal laws and ordinances governing hunting activities, including obtaining government licenses or permits required. All federal and state hunting and game laws and regulations must be followed. Please refer to the current Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations available from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife.
  • No species other than white-tailed deer may be hunted under this Permit.
  • Please respect private property. Hunters are responsible for staying within preserve boundaries. Trespassing on adjacent private lands is expressly prohibited. TNC land may not be accessed from adjacent private land without the express permission of that landowner.
  • No hunting is allowed within a 1,000-foot radius of any residence.
  • No permanent deer stands are allowed. Deer stands may not be nailed, bolted, or otherwise attached to trees using any hardware that penetrates the tree. Only ladder stands and climbing stands permitted - no climbing trees with spikes. All stands/blinds must be completely removed from the preserve by February 2, 2026. Any stands/blinds found after this date shall become the property of the TNC and may be removed by TNC.
  • Any deer stands or blinds left for more than one day must be visibly tagged with the permit number assigned to the hunter who placed it. The tag and permit number must be easily visible from the ground. Any stand or blind found without a tag and permit number will be assumed to belong to an unpermitted hunter and will be immediately removed.
  • No baiting is allowed on TNC property. This includes corn or apple piles, mineral licks, etc.
  • No motorized vehicles of any kind are allowed on TNC land.
  • No unnecessary discharge of any firearm, bow or crossbow is allowed (including target practice).
