Holmes County Pollinator Parks

The State Route 39 Corridor in Holmes County is arguably one of the most travelled roads by tourist in all of Appalachian Ohio. While picturesque the route is well developed and commercialized and some of the natural beauty of the region is lost.

The Holmes Soil and Water Conservation District through the HEART of Appalachian Ohio Project will see the development of a series of parks along the corridor that will bring small transformational change to the aesthetics of the region.

By focusing on the native plants of the region these small parks will serve as waystations for pollinators and tourist alike. Additionally, these parks will highlight the beauty of Appalachian Ohio and provide great photo opportunities for all generations of visitors. This extended streetscape of sorts will be a welcomed addition to the region and serve as hubs on the Appalachian Ohio Pollinator Trail.
