Go Buckeyes!

Posted by Paula Scott on September 24, 2023 - 6:00am

The following article is by naturalist Beth Theisen, who retired from the Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District in August after 13 years of service. Theisen provided Nature Pals, Go Outside & Play, Imaginature Playgroup, and Just For Kids Stream Stroll programs as well as numerous school programs and summer day camps.

The park district notes, "Beth’s dedication, compassion, creativity and love for environmental education will be greatly missed. Congratulations and best wishes on your next chapter! We’ll miss you!"
