Several things put the Buckeye State on the map, from the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame and world-class stadiums to being the home of the Wright Brothers. However, there is no disputing the state’s natural beauty. Its fertile soils have nurtured lush forested surroundings with pristine waterways, resulting in a charming variety of flora and fauna. Furthermore, the Appalachian Plateau, which makes up a huge chunk of the state, is dotted with lovely nature spaces, presenting endless outdoor opportunities.
Skipping big cities like Cleveland and Columbus and heading to the rural localities raises the prospect of experiencing the state’s natural side. The small towns harbor the best outdoor adventures in Ohio’s open spaces, thanks to sprawling park grounds, nature preserves, and abandoned farmlands. Whether planning to hike, camp, swim, or sightsee, these are the best towns in Ohio for the outdoorsy vacationer.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Indigenous students from any of Wisconsin’s 11 tribes will be able to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison for free beginning next fall, Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin announced Monday.
The Wisconsin Tribal Education Promise program will use private donations and other internal funding to cover tuition, fees, housing, meals, books and other expenses for undergraduate students after they’ve applied any other scholarships and grants they’ve earned, Mnookin said at a news conference. Students must show they’re enrolled tribal members to qualify.

Beginning in the fall of 2024, the University of Wisconsin–Madison will offer financial support to cover the full cost of pursuing an undergraduate degree for Wisconsin residents who are enrolled members of federally recognized Wisconsin Indian tribes, Chancellor Jennifer L. Mnookin announced today.
The commitment covers not only tuition and fees but also housing, meals, books and other educational expenses.
Additionally, a 5-year pilot program will cover in-state tuition and fees for students pursuing a J.D. (law) or M.D. (medical) degree who are Wisconsin residents and enrolled members of federally recognized Wisconsin tribes.
Together, the two new initiatives will be called the Wisconsin Tribal Educational Promise program. The program does not rely on taxpayer funding; rather, it’s supported by other institutional resources, such as private donations.
“As a university, we are deeply committed to a future of mutual respect and cooperation with the American Indian tribes in Wisconsin,” Mnookin says. “This program is another tangible, meaningful step in that direction.”
As university leaders developed the initiatives over the past year, they consulted with the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council, a consortium that includes the tribal chairperson or president of each of the 11 federally recognized American Indian tribes in Wisconsin. Mnookin met with…
Sometimes the more unusual a whisky, the more popular it becomes – and we suspect this distinctive release from Bearface Canadian Whisky is no exception.
A concept that’s already got the internet talking, this fetching looking 42.5%ABV offering harnesses the power of nature.
Infused with distinctive notes of Matsutake mushrooms, the release, named Matsutake 01, marks the debut release from the brand’s Wilderness Series.
Yes, it’s a flavour combination that might sound a little unusual, but given the current trend for all things umami – meaning savoury flavour, which is one of the five basic tastes – it’s little wonder some genius attempted a crossover into the whisky market.
Packed with delicate unami notes, Bearface’s Matsutake mushroom expression is like no other – for multiple reasons.
Unlike the UK (and much of the world for that matter), Canada’s unique regulations state that anything labelled ‘Canadian whisky’, ‘Canadian rye whisky’, or even just plain ‘rye whisky’ has to be aged in a specific way.
The liquid must sit in ‘small wood’ barrels (that’s casks less than 700 litres to you and me) for a minimum period of 3 years.
The country’s laws also allow for whisky to contain added caramel colouring and flavouring – differing from UK protocols.
Anyway, back to the good stuff.
Speaking of the release, Bearface’s Master Blender, Andrés Faustinelli, said the expression has been “a long time in the making”, adding that the highly anticipated drop was set for success.
“With each new limited release, we strive to shatter category norms and challenge traditions,” said Faustinelli.
“I know Bearface Matsutake does just that. As seen with the latest spirits trends – umami flavours are in.
“The Matsutake mushroom grows once a year in…
