Be the Change for Clean Water is working to bring together ten counties along with many partners to provide education, resources, and various opportunities to “be the change for clean water.” Some of the messages they convey are: Farm 4R Future, Interrupt surface Runoff and Tile Drainage, Keep Storm Drains Clean, Infiltrate Storm Water, and Manage your Home Sewage Treatment System.
Plant Native! 
OWA encourages the use of native species when undertaking any landscaping project. Native plants have several benefits. They require less maintenance, less water, less fertilizer and pesticides, promote biodiversity, are great for pollinators and other wildlife, and can be aesthetically pleasing. Native species can also help with erosion and filtering stormwater.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has a page on creating a native garden that can be found here. There are several links to lists of native species by habitat type.
You can a list of Ohio native plant nurseries here at the Ohio Native Grower’s website.
Information on invasive species can be found on the Ohio Invasive Plants Council’s website.
