April is Ohio Native Plant Month
On October 17, 2019, Ohio House Bill 59 came into effect. This bill states: The month of April is designated as ‘Ohio Native Plant Month’ to increase public awareness of Ohio’s native plants and the many benefits they provide to pollinators, Ohio’s economy, and the health of Ohio’s environment.
To commemorate Ohio's first Native Plant Month, LEAP and its partners, including RRWC, will be highlighting a native plant each day. Through its Native Plant of the Year promotion, that has been going on for the last 10 years, LEAP has spotlighted 3 native plants each year. Since the month of April has 30 days, LEAP members decided it was a perfect opportunity to promote one of our native plants each day in April.
You can follow the plants daily on LEAP's Facebook page.
