STRONGER TOGETHER
Licking Land Trust & Pollinator Pathway join forces
Land conservation & habitat restoration efforts expand across East Central Ohio
Pollinator Pathway of Licking County has expanded into Knox County and is now an official program of the Licking Land Trust. After 2+ years as a fiscal sponsor, Licking Land Trust has formally adopted Pollinator Pathway under its umbrella, which deepens our shared commitment to land conservation and habitat restoration in communities across East Central Ohio.
Together, we are conserving natural areas while partnering with organizations, landowners, and schools to create native habitat corridors that connect them. This integration ensures long-term sustainability and amplifies our shared vision: protect land, restore habitat, and build a connected landscape for people, pollinators and other wildlife.

New Native Plant Guide for Licking County
This newly published guide includes an at-a-glance guide to beneficial trees, flowers, shrubs, grasses & ground covers choices for pollinator-friendly landscapes, plus an at-a-glance list of invasive species to avoid.

MEADOWS FOR MONARCHS PROJECT
What's growing in pollinator plots
This new guide features profiles of the wildflower species included in the Meadows for Monarchs Project seed mix, including photos of both the bloom and the seedling. More than 30 new pollinator plots were planted across Licking County in 2025. The meadows range in size from 50 square feet to 5 acres.
Pollinator Pathway promotes native plant landscapes and works to connect public parks and private land to create a continuous corridor of pollinator-friendly habitat. Even the smallest green spaces, home gardens and median strips can be part of the Pollinator Pathway.

Plant Native Plants
Plant Native Plants
Native plants are critical sources of food and habitat for butterflies, wild bees, birds and other wildlife and form the base of the foodweb that all species (including our own) depend on.
Remove Invasive Plants
Remove Invasive Plants
Non-native, fast-growing species such as bush honeysuckle, barberry and burning bush threaten our parks and natural areas by overtaking the native plants that sustain pollinators.
Reduce Your Lawn
Reduce Your Lawn
Lawns can be deadly to butterflies, wild bees and other pollinators. Consider converting part of your yard into a pollinator garden, pocket prairie or mini meadow.
Adopt pollinator-friendly property maintenance practices

Avoid pesticides
Avoid pesticides
Lawn & garden chemicals are harmful to pollinators and may have toxic effects on other wildlife, children, pets and water resources. Skip the spray.
Leave the leaves
Leave the leaves
Some butterflies, wild bees and other pollinators overwinter in fallen leaves. Leave some leaves around the base of trees and add them to garden beds.
Re-think fall cleanup
Re-think fall cleanup
Wait until spring to "clean-up" or cut back native plants and perennials in order to provide shelter & food for pollinators through the winter months.
