You might notice a familiar face in our office. We are excited to welcome Claire to our team once again. She is currently busy meeting community partners and OSU Extension, Family and Consumer Sciences counterparts across the state. She is excited to dive into her new role and we are grateful she chose us to launch her The Ohio State University career.

🎣 Sign up with the Warren County Park District for their Cops and Bobbers event!

A big shout out to Bass Pro Shops and our Friends of Warren County Park District for their help and support in preparing for our Cops and Bobbers Fishing Day coming up on 6/13 at Armco Park.

The Friends were awarded a grant that allowed them to purchase fishing poles to have on hand for kids who don’t bring their own. With a very generous discount on top of the grant, and our own personal shopping assistant (yay, Jeff!) they managed to get 33 poles plus three tackle boxes and supplies to help re-string poles for anyone who needs help!

Want to join us on 6/13? It’s FREE! Please register ahead of time so we can make sure to have lunch ready for you! www.WarrenCountyParks.com/events

Whether you’re curious about the trees around you or want to better understand the species in your woodlands, this workshop will teach you how to identify trees using key characteristics. Join Ohio State Extension’s Jim Downs and ODNR, Division of Forestry’s Dave Apsley and Pat Migliozzi for this hands-on workshop on tree identification.
