WMVO Good Times Great Oldies
2025– In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month this
May, the Knox County Convention and Visitors Bureau (KCCVB) is excited to promote Knox
County’s green spaces with their Wilderness & Well-being Guide. This initiative encourages
both community members and visitors to explore the abundant green spaces and outdoor
amenities Knox County has to offer as a way to support their mental and emotional well-being.
The digital guide, available for free download on the Visit Knox Ohio website
(www.visitknoxohio.com), highlights local parks, trails, waterways, and scenic spots perfect for
unwinding and reconnecting with nature. “Our ‘Wilderness & Well-being Guide is designed to be
a starting point, a gentle nudge to encourage everyone to unplug and reconnect with
themselves”, said Olivia Toth, Marketing Manager of the KCCVB. “Mental Health Awareness
Month provides the perfect opportunity to prioritize our well-being, and we hope this guide
makes it easier to do so.”
The KCCVB invites community members, visitors and curious explorers to embark on their own
wilderness and well-being journey throughout May. “To further encourage participation, we hope
users will connect with us via social media to share their stories or pictures as they are inspired
by the guide,” said Toth. Individuals who share their experiences on Instagram by tagging the
official KCCVB account, @visitknoxohio, and using the hashtag #gowildfeelwellknox will be
entered into a drawing with prizes at the end of the month.
Beyond participating in the guide this month, the KCCVB encourages the community to save the
date for, Saturday, June 28, at 10 a.m., as the Brown Family Environmental Center, Philander
Chase Conservancy and Knox County Parks District cut the ceremonial ribbon at the new North
Trail System on Yauger Road (across from Wolf Run Park).
“This is a big year for our Park District celebrating 30 years, along with the Brown Family
Environmental Center, Philander Chase Conservancy and Owl Creek Conservancy all
celebrating 25 years,” said Toth. “We are forever grateful to our green partners and the
dedicated volunteers that enhance the natural beauty of our trails, parks and waterways. We
hope this Wilderness & Well-being Guide will be the perfect itinerary builder to promote
recreation and expand exploration all year long.” Download the Wilderness & Well-being Guide
