in our CEO You Should Know series Julie Schwartz, who
is the executive director of the Ohio Bird Sanctuary, a
(00:22):
very popular place, and of course with a weather warming
up spring somewhere on the way, I'm sure even more busy.
Good morning, Julie, thanks for coming in.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Good morning, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, last time you and I talked, I think we
did talk some about the Ohio Bird Sanctuary, but you
were at a different place locally, and now you are
executive director, So let's kind of dive in and talk
about the Ohio Bird Sanctuary. I like to start this
program almost the same way if somebody just moved to
the area and they're hearing for the first time the
(00:54):
Ohio Bird Sanctuary tell us about you guys.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, thanks again. The Ohio Bird Sanctuary has been around
for quite some time. We're in our thirty seventh year now.
We are a wildlife rehabilitation center. We take in injured
and ill and orphaned birds that are native to Ohio.
We take in really anywhere from five hundred to six
hundred birds a year, seeking to rehabilitate them and get
(01:17):
them back out into the wild if we can. We
also have a whole other arm to what we do,
which is our education side. So we do a lot
with local schools. We go out into libraries and senior centers,
but we're certainly open six days a week for folks
to come and visit us. On site as well, we
have birds on display for folks to see and interact with.
(01:38):
We have a songbird aviary that folks can go into
and hand feed the songbirds. We have hiking trails, a treehouse, classrooms,
we have a nature scape which is a little playground area,
plenty of picnic areas.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So would really encourage.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Anybody who's never been or those who have been to
come back and.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Check us out.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, awesome, boy, you offer a lot. Now, where exactly
are you located at in the area.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, so our address is three seven seventy four or
Wiler Road, and that's in Mansfield, but we're out by
the Clear Fork Reservoir.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Okay, perfect. Now, in terms you mentioned birds, can you
in ballpark? How many?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
How many we have on display? We have about sixty
birds that live with us all the time, and as
I said, we bring in anywhere from five hundred to
six hundred annually for care, but we're getting most of
them back out into the wild.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
All right. So we talk about the Ohio Bird Sanctuary
this morning as we are featuring this week. Our CEO
you should know is Executive director Julie Schwartz. How long
have you been in your current role?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So I moved to executive director in June of twenty
twenty three, so it's coming up on two years.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
But how long have you been affiliated with the organization?
Because I remember when you were at the Discovery School. Yeah,
I know you were still helping out ors. How long
in total?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah, so since twenty sixteen, so about nine years I've
been involved with the Bird Sanctuary.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I used to.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Be part of the education team and then I served
as a board member as well when I was at
Discovery School. So I've had a long affiliation with the organization.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So how about some information I know I would be
excited to learn about this. You know, how many people
kind of ballpark, you know, on a yearly basis come
see you guys, and how far because you're you know,
you offer so much kids adults. So you mentioned trails
so much, you know, how far do they come from?
Any stats you can show.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, absolutely, So we have about twelve thousand people come
annually through the Ohio Bird Sanctuary, and that's counting only
those folks that are going in to see the bird
display areas. We certainly have a lot of neighbors from
around the area who come almost daily and walk our trails,
and those folks would not be counted in that number
since they're not going through the visitor center. An interesting
(03:55):
little bit of information is that about twenty five percent
of our visitors are coming more than six six miles,
which is really great. So we get a lot of
Cleveland Columbus even you know, down towards Cincinnati folks coming.
We get folks coming from out of state who are
either here in Mansfield visiting family, and family say oh,
what's good to do in the area, and they bring
(04:15):
them out to the Ohio Bird Sanctuary to show them
something kind of unique and different.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
So a lot more people, even than you actually counting,
are coming to see you guys on a daily weekly basis.
Great chat this morning, learning about this week's CEO. You
should know that is Julie Schwartz, who is the executive
director of the Ohio Bird Sanctuary. So let me ask you.
We're going to find out a little more about your background.
(04:40):
But when you were growing up, did you always know
this was kind of the line of work you wanted
to go into. I know, last time I mentioned you visited,
you were with the Discovery School in Mansville, but you
still were helping out at the Bird Sanctuary. Did you
know from a young age this is kind of what
you wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Well, I'll tell you from a young age, what I
knew is that I wanted my work to involve nature
and kids. And so if we look at what I've
done with my life all along, it's always involved nature
and kids. That's been the sort of the unifying thread.
And so when I first started my career, I was
a biology teacher, and I've worked in many schools and
(05:17):
you know, worked my way up through, but always that
unifying factor was that I enjoyed living things, animals, plants, nature,
But I also really loved sharing that with children and
other people. And so that's been that's been my life's.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Work all right. Well, while we're talking about you. Let's
learn a little bit more. Julie Schwartz again, who is
with us in studio this morning, our featured CEO, executive
director of the Ohio Bird Sanctuary, talk about you know
where you're from, high school, college, all of that. So
how about a little background about you.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, I grew up in Toronto, Ohio, which is a
very small town on the eastern border of Ohio borders
West Virginia. It's right on the Ohio River. I grew
up there. I was a very good student and graduated
from Toronto High School the top of my class. I
went on to the University of Toledo where I earned
two degrees, one in biology one in education, and it
(06:14):
was there that I met my husband, and he is
from this area. He grew up in Mansfield and so we.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Settled back here. After college.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I started my career at Ashland High School teaching biology
and got my master's degree from Ohio State in educational leadership.
So I went on after many years in teaching to
become a principal, and I really did enjoy that work,
but it was the nature and kids aspect that drew
me out of that work. I wanted to get back
(06:45):
to teaching, and particularly teaching in the out of doors,
which is how I ended up at the Ohio Bird Sanctuary.
The Ohio Bird Sanctuary offers lots and lots of educational
programs that are in the outdoors, so nature camps, field trips,
and they need educators to lead those programs, and so
that's kind of where I came in. Also started a
homeschool program there at the Bird Sanctuary, and so again
(07:09):
I really developed a love for the outdoors as a child.
So even to this day, our family, for leisure, we're
hiking or kayaking or birding, spending as much time outdoors
as we can.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
All right. Terrific. College Toledo and Ohio State. So a
rocket and a buckeye. Okay, all right, terrific. So you
said husband, you said family, kids. Tell us about the family. Yep.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
So I've been married for twenty years and we have
two children that attend Ontario schools. I have My son
is a junior, my daughter's in seventh grade.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Okay, so busy, we're busy.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, we keep busy. All right.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Good, what do you guys like to do? I know
you mentioned hiking in different things like that. I'm sure
family time is very important then, right, Yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Love travel, We love supporting our kids and the activities
that they are a part of. We enjoy spending time
in the outdoors, hiking and kayaking and those kinds of
outdoor activities.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
All Julie Schwartz with us for a few more minutes,
our featured CEO this week, Executive director of the Ohio
Bird Sanctuary. As we get back to work, how many
I'm sure you know there's so many different areas at
the Bird Sanctuary. Do you have a ballpark of staff?
How many people you guys have on a yearly basis?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, so we have eight people that are on staff
full time, but we also are supported by a huge
troop of volunteers who help us throughout the year. So
we have about ninety five active volunteers that help us
either by working our front desk, they might help with
educational programs, or they may be helping us with our
trails and building in grounds type tasks. So it does
(08:46):
take a lot of folks to keep the Bird Sanctuary running.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You mentioned your open six days a week. Could you
mention days your open hours?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Sure, We're open Tuesdays through Saturdays ten to four and
Sundays twelve to four closed on Mondays. That's our heavy
cleaning day. We are there because those birds have to eat.
We specialize in raptors at the bird Sanctuary, so they
are large meat eating birds, so we have to be
there every day to feed them. But folks are we
certainly welcome to come visit us those other six days
(09:15):
a week.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
As we talk about the bird Sanctuary, how about website
phone number If somebody wants to learn more, they want
to reach.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Out, Yeah, certainly. If you find an injured bird, or
you have questions about wildlife or what we offer, feel
free to give us a call anytime and certainly leave
us a message if for some reason you.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Call after hours.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
That number is four one nine eight eight four hawk
that's four two nine five and our website is www
dot Ohiobirdsanctuary dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I like that phone number. That's that's memorable. People remember that.
Good Julie. Let's get back and then there's so many
things I can tell you talking about the High Bird
Sanctuary you're excited about. You mentioned treehouse education. Share with
us a little b because I know you get a
lot of field trips, a lot of kids that come
to see you. You mentioned your background education is very important,
but share with us some of the I don't know
(10:07):
if you want to call it more popular things, but
does share some of the really the great things you offer,
especially with that education side.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, So our education team is very busy.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
We have a full time team of educators that work
with us, and they are right now in their busy
field trip season. So this is sort of the end
of the school year for folks. They're spending a lot
of time bringing kids to our facility. They get a
bird show, they get a hike, you know, they get
to experience nature up close and personal in a way
that they might otherwise not get too. We also offer
(10:39):
a whole summer of nature camps, so we have eight
weeks of camp this summer. Folks can sign their children
up for day camp with us. It's a very very
popular option and we offer that for ages three all
the way up to twelve.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
All right, so if somebody wants to take advantage of that,
do they call website either? How do they and how
I guess what's kind of how soon do they need
to let you know?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, right now is the time to be signing up
and do that online, but if they would have any questions,
certainly feel free to reach out.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
All a terrific conversation this morning with Julie Schwartz, executive
director of the Ohio Bird Sanctuary. Is there anything else
that we haven't mentioned that the public should know? Because
you know, you and I chatting here for you know,
ten or fifteen minutes. There's so many things. At the
end of the conversation, you might go, oh, I forgot
about this because you mentioned trail's education. Anything we missed
(11:30):
that somebody may not be aware of you do or
they just should know about.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I would just like to say we're very affordable.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It's five dollars for an adult and three dollars for children,
so a family can really come and spend the day
and do so for under twenty dollars. And I think
that it's hard to find places where you can go
and really spend good time together with your family and
experience as much as we have.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
To offer for under twenty dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
So I would encourage folks to also follow us on
all of our social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
That's a great way to keep up with what events,
special events we may be offering.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
And you mentioned in terms of a great way to
spend the day, you know, family, but you mentioned your outdoors,
nature education, all of that in one place. Yes, all right, terrific.
Our conversation this morning with Julie Schwartz, executive director of
the Ohio Bird Sanctuary. Before I let you go, could
you leave us again the phone number and your website
(12:28):
if they want to you know, any of the camps,
any of the education, they want to get more information.
Could you leave us with that again.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, call us at four one nine eight eight four
four two nine five, that's eight eight four hawk, or

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, right now is the time to be signing up
and do that online, but if they would have any questions,
certainly feel free to reach out.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
All a terrific conversation this morning with Julie Schwartz, executive
director of the Ohio Bird Sanctuary. Is there anything else
that we haven't mentioned that the public should know? Because
you know, you and I chatting here for you know,
ten or fifteen minutes. There's so many things. At the
end of the conversation, you might go, oh, I forgot
about this because you mentioned trail's education. Anything we missed
(11:30):
that somebody may not be aware of you do or
they just should know about.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I would just like to say we're very affordable.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It's five dollars for an adult and three dollars for children,
so a family can really come and spend the day
and do so for under twenty dollars. And I think
that it's hard to find places where you can go
and really spend good time together with your family and
experience as much as we have.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
To offer for under twenty dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
So I would encourage folks to also follow us on
all of our social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
That's a great way to keep up with what events,
special events we may be offering.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
And you mentioned in terms of a great way to
spend the day, you know, family, but you mentioned your outdoors,
nature education, all of that in one place. Yes, all right, terrific.
Our conversation this morning with Julie Schwartz, executive director of
the Ohio Bird Sanctuary. Before I let you go, could
you leave us again the phone number and your website
(12:28):
if they want to you know, any of the camps,
any of the education, they want to get more information.
Could you leave us with that again.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, call us at four one nine eight eight four
