America 250-Ohio will plant a white oak tree in all of Ohio’s 88 counties to honor our state’s role in the nation’s founding and commemorate the history of the location where it’s planted. By planting these trees in meaningful locations, Ohioans are actively preserving their local heritage while contributing to environmental sustainability.
A white oak was chosen by the Heritage Trees working team as they grow in many soil types, resist most tree diseases and many species are native to Ohio. A specific white oak species will be chosen by each county based on the county climate and purchased from a reputable Ohio tree nursery. As they grow, these trees will stand as a testament to Ohio’s commitment to conservation.
Encourage your local county officials to participate in this statewide effort.
Share this program with friends, family, and local organizations passionate about history and the environment.
Cenovus Energy is the Presenting Sponsor of Heritage Trees: Planting History. Their generous support is making a tree planting possible in every Ohio county.
