Evans Park
1801 Refugee Rd SE, Hebron, OH 43025, USA
At Evans Park, 2.5 acres between the soccer and football fields have been transformed into a native wetland prairie. Plants such as Swamp Milkweed, Blue Vervain, Cardinal Flower, and New England Aster will add color while helping absorb and filter stormwater. Including plants like Woolgrass, Prairie Cordgrass, and Wingstem also provide important habitat for pollinators and wildlife. This project will create a beautiful natural space while helping support a healthier wetland area.
