ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPH:

“ This photo is it kind of what brought me to the area. I'm a resident of Westwood and I just bought a house a few years ago but we're about ten minutes away from Mount Airy and we have we started me I'm the vice president of Cincinnati Off-Road Alliance and we maintain 115 miles of multi-use trails in the Greater Cincinnati area. So to be able to have trails so close to home, seven minutes away from this particular trail system that Kyle and Hillside Trust are developing.

It’s really amazing because usually for an urban environment like this you have to get in your car and drive You know 30 to an hour away to be able to enjoy nature and go for a hike whereas now I think You know I'm very supportive in this initiative to to really give everyone access to The the urban wilderness you guys have here. This was a while ago when we were building the trail, so it makes me feel nostalgic and it makes me feel empowered to really change my community and change the face of what people think about when they think of my community. think about when they think of my community. a great example of the way people can come up with an idea and really bring it to reality.
