Join OSU Extension educator, Laura Stanton, and Shannon Pennington, Warren County Park District naturalist, for the next Nature Lovers Book Club. This will be a casual and informal gathering, so there is no pressure to read the entire book. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other nature lovers in our community, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts and reflections.

Join Laura Stanton, OSU Extension Educator, and other guests, for a series of relaxing strolls around multiple parks in Warren County. These will be slow and peaceful walks, perfect for Monday mornings. These walks are a terrific opportunity to soak up Vitamin N (Nature) and meet new friends. Both of which are beneficial to your overall health and wellbeing. We’ll meet in the park’s parking lot and start walking by 9:10 AM. You can leave the walks when you want, and we’ll plan to finish each walk by 11:00 AM.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your recycling items after Rumpke picks them up?

We’ll review items acceptable for Rumpke recycling and take a walking tour of the plant to see how recyclable materials are sorted. All are welcome, although visitors must be at least 13 years old. Registration: The tour is free, but space is limited to 20 people.
