Good morning, Powell. The title of "Ohio's Best Tree Farm" isn't just handed out to anyone. This Saturday, curious nature lovers can discover why Moser Woods earned this prestigious honor as the family-owned Bluffton farm opens its gates for public tours. From oak regeneration to maple syrup production, professional foresters will guide visitors through the sustainable practices that make this woodland special. Just remember to wear those sturdy shoes – Mother Nature doesn't provide sidewalks.
Meanwhile, pizza enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as JT's Pizza & Pub announces its third location coming to Jerome Village. The local favorite continues its impressive expansion less than a year after opening in Grandview Heights. In workplace wellness news, the West Central Ohio Safety Council's September meeting tackles the important topic of trauma in the workforce – a timely discussion as organizations increasingly recognize the connection between employee mental health and workplace safety.
