🌳🚴♀️ Policy in the Parks: Connecting Community, Conservation & Quality of Life!
Last week, LMK Advocacy was proud to partner with Five Rivers MetroParks to host “Policy in the Parks” at Eastwood MetroPark, bringing together elected officials and legislative staff for a firsthand look at the incredible impact our MetroParks have on the Dayton region.
From outdoor recreation and conservation to education and community wellness, we learned more about the important role Five Rivers MetroParks plays in making our region a great place to live, work and play!
Attendees had the opportunity to explore the exciting new Nature Play Area, and some even hopped on bikes for a ride to the lake, where we learned more about the park’s water recreation opportunities, including kayaking and fishing. 🚴♂️🛶🎣
A special thank you to the elected officials and staff who joined us:
* Montgomery County Commissioner Mary McDonald and her staff
* Montgomery County Treasurer John McManus and his staff
* Dayton City Commissioner Chris Shaw and his staff
* Staff from Montgomery County Commissioner Carolyn Rice’s office
* Staff from U.S. Senator Jon Husted’s office
* Staff from U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno’s office
There’s no better way to understand the value of our parks than to experience them firsthand!
At LMK Advocacy, we love creating opportunities to connect policymakers with the organizations, people and places that make our communities stronger. Thank you to Five Rivers MetroParks for a wonderful afternoon showcasing the incredible recreational and natural resources available right here in our region!
