Conservation Tip: Planting a Pollinator-friendly Garden

Did you know that April is Ohio Native Plant Month? Native plants are so important because they provide food and shelter for native wildlife. Choosing native plants can help local pollinators such as bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and more! Native plants are unique because they have evolved alongside native bees, birds and other wildlife. 

Unfortunately, native plants are on the decline in the Buckeye state. Read this Columbus Dispatch article for more information about pollinators in Ohio [ https://www.dispatch.com/story/lifestyle/home-garden/2024/03/16/the-native-plants-in-ohio-continue-to-decline-with-271-endangeredohios-biodiversity-continues-to-be/72941921007/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ].  

You can help by planting a native pollinator-friendly garden this spring! Consider these common pollinator-friendly plants:


* Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea)
* Black-eyed susan (Rudbeckia hirta)
* Eastern red columbine (Aquilegia Canadensis)
* Common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca)
* Lance leaf coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolate)
