Good morning, Dayton!
Here’s Your Daily Dose of Dayton
Did you know…Dayton was located by colonists on April Fools Day. It was April 1, 1796 when Benjamin Van Cleve and 11 settlers discovered the Miami Valley.
The can’t-miss scoop of the day:
Explore new exhibits at the Air Force Museum highlighting women and enlisted airmen.
Dayton tops the list for first-time homebuyers, while Premier Health launches a new symptom tool.
Winter hikes, holiday events, and top-rated local eateries bring festive fun for everyone.
Thick brush, tangled woods, and overgrown acres don’t just make your property look neglected—they limit how you can use your land. Trails disappear. Space gets wasted. And clearing it by hand feels impossible. That’s where Buckeye Land Services comes in.
We now provide high-power forestry mulching, the fastest and cleanest way to reclaim your land without damaging the soil. Our equipment pulverizes brush, vines, saplings, and undergrowth on the spot, turning it into nutrient-rich mulch that improves your soil while leaving your property clean, open, and instantly usable. No burning. No piles. No hauling. Just transformation.
Whether you’re carving out new trails, expanding your yard, prepping for a future build, or finally taking back acreage that’s been untouched for years, our team delivers professional, efficient clearing that dramatically improves visibility, access, and property value. The difference is night-and-day—and most projects are completed in a single day.
Serving landowners across the Miami Valley, we bring the right equipment, the right technique, and the local expertise to make your land work for you again.

today for your free estimate and experience how powerful forestry mulching can transform your property with Buckeye Land Services—where land clearing meets results.
DAYTON DIGEST
New Stories Landing at the Air Force Museum
Planning a winter museum day? The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force just rolled out new and refreshed exhibits, including updates that spotlight the stories of Women Airforce Service Pilots and the enlisted airmen who have long been the backbone of the force. These additions bring more personal narratives and hands-on history into the galleries, giving families and aviation fans fresh reasons to visit.
New Premier Health Tool Helps You Pick the Right Care Fast
Premier Health has launched a new online symptom checker to help Dayton-area residents decide what level of care makes sense when they are not feeling their best. The digital tool walks users through their symptoms and then points them toward options like virtual visits, urgent care, primary care, or the ER, aiming to cut down on guesswork and unnecessary trips. It is not meant to replace doctors or nurses, but to help you connect with the right medical professionals more quickly and confidently.
Good News for First-Time Homebuyers
Thinking about buying your first place in the Dayton area? A new national report ranks the Dayton metro among the top markets in the country for first-time buyers, citing a mix of relatively affordable prices and improving conditions for people entering the market. While local home values have climbed significantly over the past decade, Dayton still stands out as more affordable than many U.S. metros, especially for buyers coming from higher-cost cities.
Winter Walks Are Calling: Dayton’s Best Hikes Under the Snow
Dayton’s parks transform into winter wonderlands, with Sugarcreek MetroPark, Clifton Gorge, and Charleston Falls Preserve offering breathtaking snowy trails. Local hiking duo Michelle and Brian Coleman, stars of the YouTube channel Cruisin’ with the Colemans, are leading a festive 7‑mile downtown hike on Dec. 13, featuring stops at the 2nd Street Market and the sparkling Schuster Center holiday windows. Local outdoors-experts remind hikers to layer up, wear sturdy boots, and watch for icy spots to stay safe while enjoying the season. Whether chasing peaceful solitude or a lively walk with friends, these trails offer a perfect mix of nature, community, and holiday cheer.
