The Three Valley Conservation Trust will hold a picnic to celebrate 16 years of stream conservation and farmland preservation service in southwestern Ohio and southeastern Indiana.
This year's celebration will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 10 on Beck Farm at 5920 Morning Sun Road. The Three Valley Conservation Trust threw a similar party last year for their celebration of 15 years and are repeating this in hopes of making this an annual activity.
Miami University senior and intern for the Three Valley Conservation Trust Kate Ceronie said the picnic will be a fun event for the community.
"It will be fun and a good opportunity for valley members to interact with the community, farmers and students from Oxford," Ceronie said.
The event is free and open to the public, but donations will be accepted.
According to Ceronie, the committee will be providing free food and drinks, such as hamburgers, hotdogs and other picnic foods, as well as a few of the favorite dishes of the board members.
There will be guided tours through the natural forest's surrounding area and live blues and contemporary music by musicians John Kogge and Dave Nolim, according to Ceronie.
"I'm really happy something like this is going on," first-year Elizabeth Baran said. "It's a terrific way to get everyone involved in the organization."
Larry Frimerman, executive director for the Three Valley Conservation Trust, shared Baran's excitement.
"We're very pleased and excited to offer this opportunity to the southwest community," he said. "It's a nice way of giving back to the community that helps support us."
