STATEHOUSE CALENDAR

Keep Ohio Beautiful Day at the Ohio Statehouse, is a partnership with Keep Ohio Beautiful, the Scotts-Miracle Gro Company, the Davey Resources Group and the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board. The celebration will include a short ceremony and information displays on the North Plaza and planting of native species on the northeast side of the Ohio Statehouse. In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will take place indoors in the Rotunda of the Ohio Statehouse.

Keep Ohio Beautiful Day celebrates the value and power of native species in restoring ecological balance to the environment, while creating greener, more beautiful communities and landscapes. Since native species are losing ground to suburbanization, fragmented habitats, ornamental plants and invasive species, Keep Ohio Beautiful Day partners will use the Ohio Statehouse grounds to highlight native species.  Native species are critical to attracting specialized pollinators and insects, which in turn provide food for birds and ultimately many more animals up the food chain.
