A special thank you to Cincinnati Parks Naturalist and AAC Team Lead, Gia Giammarinaro, for leading us through the experience and teaching us about the importance of protecting our local ecosystems. Together, we rolled up our sleeves to help remove invasive plant species, contributing to the health and preservation of this beautiful natural space.

After a rewarding morning outdoors, we stopped by our friends at Otto's Restaurant Group for lunch at The Standard! It was the perfect way to wrap up a morning of teamwork, service, and connection. We're grateful for community partners who help make days like these so meaningful! 🧡
