New project Summary – Helping prairie re-establishment to effectively improve aged native prairie habitat for pollinators and wildlife. The prairie habitat will be renovated, setting back succession and eliminating invasive species. The work will include developing methods and techniques, that will improve the diversity and quality of habitat for pollinators and wildlife. Early prairie plantings at Caesar Creek had limited diversity and few forbs, which are desirable and critical for pollinators. The project will introduce and re-plant a variety of high quality plants that will specifically benefit pollinators and improve the wildlife and recreational benefits of the 45 acres of prairies at Caesar Creek Lake.

Miller Ecological Park
Japanese Friendship Garden
About: The Will and Harriet Miller Ecological Park is a city park in Lebanon, Ohio. In 1993, Edwin and Margaret Miller sold the property to Lebanon City at a reduced cost so that a park would be built here in memory of parents, Will and Harriet Miller. During the development of the 2008 City of Lebanon Master Plan for City Parks, it was decided that Miller Park would become an Ecological Park. A fund was created through the Warren County Foundation in August 2009 to support projects that would assist in building the park.
Current Project: Miller Ecological Park in Lebanon, OH and Matsunami Park in Ishinomaki, Japan are Friendship Parks. To further celebrate this friendship, as well as provide a place of peaceful beauty, mental health wellness and continual respect for nature and the native ecology, plans for a Japanese-style friendship garden are in the works for Miller Park. Please help us make this gift of nature for our community possible by making a donation or by volunteering your time.
When you click on the the Donate button, PLEASE CHOOSE THE DROP-DOWN, JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP PARK.
On the same page, if you choose to mail in a donation, PLEASE BE SURE TO DESIGNATE JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP PARK to make sure it gets to the proper designation.
